Paragliding

Unlike skydiving, where the descent is quick, paragliding allows you to glide in multiple directions, gain altitude, and extend your time in the air for minutes—or even hours—if conditions allow. It’s an incredible experience that lets you take in breathtaking views from above, offering a perspective like no other.


Paragliding in Voss

Voss and Ekstremsportveko are a true mecca for paragliding, welcoming pilots of all levels. Whether you're a novice learning the ropes or an experienced pilot exploring long-distance flights or acro tricks, Voss offers an unmatched playground in the skies.

With the launch of the Voss Gondola in July 2019, accessing prime take-off spots has never been easier. This state-of-the-art gondola transports you from the train and bus station in Voss to Mount Hanguren (820 masl) in under nine minutes—making it the largest and most modern mountain gondola in Northern Europe.

Meeting Point & Take-Offs

Main Meeting Point: The paragliding landing zone next to the gondola.

When the wind conditions are good, you’ll find keen pilots gathering by the landing site from 09:00 onwards. If conditions at Hanguren aren’t suitable for flying, we organize alternative transport from Minigolfen Café to other take-off locations.
