What is B.A.S.E Jumping?
BASE jumping is the recreational sport of jumping from fixed objects, using a
parachute to descend safely to the ground. "BASE" is an acronym that stands
for four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump: buildings,
antenna (referring to radio masts), spans (bridges) and earth (cliffs).
Participants exit from a fixed object such as a cliff and after an optional freefall
delay, deploy a parachute to slow down their descent before landing softly. A
popular form of BASE jumping is wingsuit BASE jumping.
The Nærøyfjord area is (in our opinion) one of the best places on earth for BASE
jumping, If you are into either sick wingsuit lines, scenic onesie flights, steep
tracking jumps or cheeky slider down jumps? Or all of the above?? We have
something for you. The area offers endless opportunities for BASE jumping if
you are willing to put in some effort. Many of the jumps have demanding hikes,
so being fit for hiking is highly recommended. To be able to reach exit, and still
have energy to perform your jump safely. If you like heli-rides to exit, we offer
that also, on the Gudvangen BASE Heli Day Tuesday 24th.
Wednesday – Saturday local BASE jumpers will guide to different exits for
slick/2piece, onepiece/ws, and advanced ws. If you are a sucker for SD jumps,
get in touch and we can arrange that as well.
