Takeoff description
There are 3 different Take offs at Speiereck: The one at 2000m is mainly used in summer. To get there, you have to contact the guys from DFC Lungau (www.dfc-lungau.com) On weekend they meet at 10:00 at the landing place and go up by car. In winter time you can go up by cablecar, then it is possible to start at the normal starting place (you have to walk half an hour to reach it) or go down to the second cablecar to go up to the summit and start from there.
