- Notes: Lift tickets are bought at the lift. A five-ride clip card costs the same as a three-day ticket, but you can refill it for 5 EUR per ride, it is valid for many years, and multiple people can go up together on one card. Paraglider pilots ride down for free with the lift, if they don’t feel safe to fly. One trip and one-day tickets are also sold at the Flight Bar. The Flight Bar LZ has a landing fee (unless you buy their lift tickets or have their AXA insurance). Wind: The Unterberghorn webcam shows two wind socks, but look also at the trees. The meassured wind presented on the webcam is from the very top. There can be valley winds from the north and the west.
