Join us for a memorable Hike, Sleep & Fly adventure during Ekstremsportveko, combining spectacular nature, a rewarding hike, a night in the mountains and an unforgettable flight above one of the most dramatic fjord landscapes in Norway.

This year the route takes us to Grindafletshytta in Gudvangen, a mountain cabin located high above the fjord and surrounded by steep peaks and stunning views over the valley below. After hiking up together as a group, we spend the night at the cabin before preparing for a morning launch.

From the mountains above Gudvangen we take off and glide down towards the valley, enjoying a unique flight through one of Western Norway’s most beautiful flying areas.

Expect a proper mountain adventure together with fellow pilots — hiking, sharing a night in the mountains and flying back down to the fjord landscape below.
