Mollis Airfield
1,800 metres of safety
Mollis Airfield is a former military airfield and, at 1,800 metres long and 40 metres wide, offers a safe environment for self-launch pilots. The Glarus Alps provide a spectacular backdrop. Mollis is quick and easy to reach from the greater Zurich area via the A2. Via Netstal railway station, the airfield is ideally connected to Zurich main station with services every half hour, taking just one hour. And once you’re in the beautiful Glarus region, it immediately feels like a holiday.
