In summer and winter alike, the Pizol area boasts an altitude difference of 1,800 meters and four official launch sites: Pizolhütte, Laufböden, Gaffia and Furt.
When taking off in a southerly direction from Laufböden, the mountain must be flown around in order to reach the landing sites in the Rhine Valley.
If the alpine economy is not disturbed, paragliders can take off from any suitable spot in summer. In winter, however, only the two official launch sites Pizolhütte and Laufböden may be used so as not to interfere with skiing operations.
When crossing the valley, for example from Falknis to Gonzen, the airspace of Bad Ragaz airfield (SG) and Balzers heliport (FL) must be observed.
Paraglider pilots can download a detailed description of the flying area on the Pizol, including wildlife rest areas, restricted zones and cables.
