Located in the Upper Rhine Valley near the city of Chur, Bad Ragaz Airfield is a vital base for private pilots and glider enthusiasts. Sitting at an elevation of 493 meters, the facility is famous for its demanding approach to runway 30, which requires pilots to navigate closely past the Freudenberg castle ruins. The airfield features a compact asphalt runway, 12/30, measuring 495 meters in length and 11 meters in width. Its strategic position makes it a preferred hub for alpine flights, benefiting from the region’s characteristic Föhn winds and exceptional thermal conditions.
