Aerotow only.

They were running a winch when I flew over a few weeks back...

They do occassionally run a winch, but it's not the norm in my experience.

That's what they told me a few years back as well. It was just like
visiting a different UK club: I rocked up at the office after spending
the night in one of the hotels, showed log book and medical and got sent
out to the flight line for a check flight in an ASK-21. That went OK, so
I offered a flight in an ASK-23 (single seat early solo type, not as nice
as an SZD Junior IMO - never seen one before) and towed off the hill for
a really nice flight. Not been back since, unfortunately.

FWIW, my German is middling to poor.

Is the Alpen Segelflugschule in Unterwossen open in winter?
Also, if you own a German glider you must go to the factory. It's an eye-opener.
