Location Secret location
One of the most unique adventures during Ekstremsportveko.
Train, Hike and Fly is a full mountain mission combining everything we love about speedflying. A scenic train ride, a beautiful hike through the mountains and an unforgettable flight back down to the valley.
The destination remains a secret for now. What we can promise is a stunning route, great terrain and a memorable speedflying descent somewhere in the mountains surrounding Voss.
This is not just a hike and fly. It is a proper adventure designed for pilots who enjoy exploring new terrain and sharing an epic day in the mountains with other pilots.
Before takeoff we will gather around the map for a briefing of the landing area so everyone knows exactly what to expect when it is time to touch down.
Maximum 20 participants.
The plan
We start the day with a scenic train ride to the starting point.
From there we hike up a beautiful mountain route with great views along the way.
At the top we prepare for launch and enjoy a speedflying descent back towards the valley.
After landing we finish the adventure with a relaxed train ride back, sharing stories from the day.

Train ticket
All participants are responsible for purchasing their own train ticket via Vy (Voss → Uppsete, departure 10:56).
Mandatory brief at 09:30 – please make sure you are on time.
For the return journey, we are planning the following:
The hike itself is relatively short (approximately 6 km with 600 m of elevation gain), but conditions and timing can vary depending on weather, finding a suitable take-off, and time spent in the air. We therefore recommend aiming for the 16:32 train from Blomheller Stasjon to Voss, which allows for approximately 4.5 hours at Uppsete before departure.
Alternative later departures are also available if needed:
17:45 → 19:44
18:57 → 20:08
We recommend booking flexible tickets if possible.
