About this spot

About

Landsberied is a winter snowkiting spot near Munich (Filzberg, about 553 m elevation) with broad, open agricultural fields that are suitable for straightforward launches and riding lines. The venue is primarily a west to northwesterly wind location, typically working during winter storm-front and gradient conditions rather than any local thermal pattern. Because it’s based on agricultural terrain, snow cover is critical. Riders should ensure enough snow depth to avoid damaging fields/crops (commonly advised as roughly 10–15 cm or more) and avoid riding where young plants are visible. Conditions can vary significantly with how much fresh snow and surface consolidation you get before you arrive. Wind is described around roughly 10–25 knots in typical conditions, with moderate gustiness during the winter fronts. The flat terrain generally makes it approachable for beginner practice and freeride sessions when snow and visibility are good, but you still need to read the field carefully. Safety-wise, the key operational warning is to watch for power lines running across the fields further out, along with fences and other field-edge hazards. There’s no lifeguard presence and no dedicated rescue service, so plan to rely on standard emergency response (112) if needed.

  • Winter snowkiting season is the main attraction (snow-dependent, especially January–February)
  • Westerly/northwesterly winds suit the spot’s open field layout
  • Flat terrain supports easy access for practice and progression
