Soaring operations in Villach, Austria, at this time of year?
Hello,
I am planning to be in Villach, Austria, in an upcoming weekend in early Feb, and wondering if someone could recommend a soaring location and operation at this time of year in the Carinthia area? So far I found the following online via a friend, but no seasonal information. (I can always check with each site individually, but thought I'd poll for recommendations on locations and operations. Thanks in advance.) http://www.aeroclub.at/verein_gesamtauswahl.php Carinthian Tourist Infos (Kärnten) http://www.kaernten.at/english http://www.kaernten.at/?siid=3&page=...&lid=EN&jid=WI Soaring Clubs http://www.aeroclub.at/seg_schulen.php http://www.aeroclub.at/verein_gesamtauswahl.php Soaring Feldkirchen (25km from Villach) http://www.flugsportverein.at/Startseite.htm http://www.flugsportverein.at/Startseite.htm Soaring Nötsch (25km from Villach) http://members.aon.at/flugsport.noetsch1/ http://members.aon.at/flugsport.noet...0flugzeuge.htm Best regards. |

The thermal season starts around April. There may or may not be soarable
days (thermal or wave) earlier in the year, but don't count on it. Stefan |

More then likely there will be snow on the ground at that time of year.
Skiing might be just a bit better idea. Soaring in central and eastern Austria begins usualy in mid April, I don't know when it begins in Tirol or Kartnen. I used to fly in Eisenstadt, about 60 km east of Vienna and Wiener Neustadt, about 60 km south of Vienna some 20 years ago. But anyway, good luck on your search. Jacek Kobiesa Washington State |

There is definitely no soaring season in Carinthia this time of the year. The grass runways cannot get cleared of snow and therefore the airfield is not in operation. Plan to go soaring in April to August. See the Noetsch webcam at http://www.plasounig.at/segelflug/live.htm Christoph |
