Paragliding

Wind. Freedom. Flight.

Paragliding is all about using the energy of the air to stay aloft. Instead of simply descending, pilots glide across valleys, circle in thermals to gain altitude and extend their flights for minutes — sometimes even hours.

During Ekstremsportveko, the skies above Voss fill with colourful wings as pilots from around the world gather to fly in one of the most spectacular landscapes in Norway.

From relaxed soaring flights to acro tricks and big cross-country adventures, paragliding at Veko showcases the full range of the sport.

Paragliding in Voss

Voss is widely known as a paragliding paradise. The combination of mountains, fjords and reliable flying conditions makes the area ideal for pilots of all levels.

With the Voss Gondola, reaching the main take-off at Mount Hanguren (820 m) takes less than nine minutes from the village centre, making it one of the most accessible flying sites in the world.

Throughout Ekstremsportveko, pilots gather daily to fly, explore new routes and share the sky above Voss.

For detailed local flying information, the local club Voss HPK has gathered important resources on their website.

Meeting Point & Take-offs

Main meeting point:
The paragliding landing zone next to the gondola.

When the conditions are good, pilots usually start gathering here from around 09:00.

If Hanguren is not flyable due to wind conditions, alternative transport is organized from Minigolfen Café to other take-off locations.
