Train, Hike and Fly
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.
