You will jump from a height of 1900 m /6233 ft!!!. Enjoy the magnificent view of Tyrol and then land safely and gently. Bear in mind that you will be flying within the control zone of Innsbruck. Occasionally only the areas “Nordkette” with maximum 2438 m /8000 ft high and “Glider area B” of 3352 m /11000 ft high are cleared by the air traffic control for members and day visitors. So before starting or ingress is necessary to assure that the concerned area is open.
