Description
At an elevation of 1102 meters, this site offers a rarely used, panoramic flight experience. There is no designated main landing area, but there are approximately 5000 decares of various fields at Selsvollene available for landing. Alternatively, you can fly to Otta and land at the sports field, which is 4.2 km away in a straight line. However, you will likely need to follow the valley, requiring a glide ratio of 7.5 with a 100-meter altitude surplus for a safe landing in calm air. There are many landing opportunities along the way.
Starting in a northerly wind should not pose significant problems. The launch site is a walk of about 1.2 km and approximately 150 meters in elevation from the road. The easiest way to reach it is through the residential area at Dahle, about 2 km west of Otta. Note that the road is gated, so bring cash (40 NOK) for the toll. Follow the signs to Haldorpiggen after reaching the flat area at the top next to a large field, just past the high-voltage power lines.
In good northeast conditions, it should be possible to soar there. There is also a south launch about 900 meters southeast of Haldorpiggen, but it requires 3-4 m/s wind from the south/southeast to start. The rocky and uneven terrain is not ideal for running.
