** POSSIBILITIES
In spring and summer there are good chances for thermalling or even xc-flying.
If there's valley wind, there are often good soaring possibilities at Wellenberg.

** DANGERS & RESTRICTIONS
The Engelberg valley is notorious for its countless cables. Study the "Luftfahrthindernisse" map of map.geo.admin.ch (search for “air navigation obstacles”) and be VERY careful when flying low or near the slopes.

Directly north of the summit begins the CTR of airport Buochs. If you understand german, read the detailed information sheet "Luftraum Zentralschweiz" from the "Schweizerischer Hängegleiter Verband" (SHV).

In case of doubt: stay south of Buochserhorn summit and Dallenwil.


** GENERAL & DISCLAIMER **
Paragliding can be dangerous, especially if you lack the necessary training or experience or if your equipment is not adequate. Also take into account the regulations that apply to paragliding in Switzerland, especially the airspace regulations. Always check the DABS (https://www.skybriefing.com/dabs) and with snow also the avalance risk (https://www.slf.ch). Also consult swisstopo (https://map.geo.admin.ch/) and search for "Air navigation obstacles" to become aware of dangerous cables.
