The flying area
At the 12er Horn
The Zwölferhorn lies in the middle of the beautiful Alpine foothills at the foot of the turquoise-blue Wolfgangsee. To the north stands the majestic Schafberg. The large landing site above the village of St. Gilgen is also in a picturesque location.
This association was founded to preserve the infrastructure of this unique flying mountain, which manages the take-off and landing sites and pays a lease to the alpine farmers. All pilots who purchase a daily or annual pass may use the club’s take-off and landing sites for private purposes. This also applies to Hike & Fly pilots!
Taking off and landing on the Zwölferhorn and in St. Gilgen is only permitted on the designated take-off and landing areas of the association. Launching on the Jagafleck (east) and at the Arnikahütte (south) is not permitted. We ask you to respect this prohibition of the owners.
Starting position
Safe start!
You may only take off in a northerly direction (see red markings in the picture). The yellow area (Voitlhütte launch site) may only be used when the pasture fence is not erected. This is usually erected in May and dismantled again in September. The wind directions that can be safely launched are from NE to NW!

Landing site
Happy landings!
The landing area is spacious, but should not be underestimated. In spring and summer, from midday onwards, the Brunnwind (thermal balancing wind coming from the north) pushes the thermals from the village and the fields towards the landing site. The conditions at the landing site are then difficult! Please fly the landing turns over the landing field and not too close to the inhabited houses. The area marked in yellow in the picture is intended for packing up the equipment and is always mowed briefly.
