At approximately 1125 meters, this site is occasionally used for soaring and panoramic flights. It is recommended for pilots with a PP4 rating. Instead of using the Totten 1 start, we suggest the start between Fjellheisen and Hamarheisen. Take the 8-seater lift up. After disembarking, head left towards the northeast. After about 100 meters, you will see a small hill on your right. This is the take-off point. Since December 2004, the Totten 1 start in Hemsedal must be used with great caution due to the proximity of the new 8-seater lift compared to the old 3-seater lift. We recommend using the start between Fjellheisen and Hamarheisen to avoid conflicts and accidents. The western part of the Totten 1 start area should be avoided. However, starting towards the north and east is still possible. There is also a start point near the antenna further east, suitable for easterly winds. This start point faces the valley east of the antenna, but it offers limited clearance to the valley floor, and some pilots have had to land there. Be cautious and ensure you gain as much lift as possible over the edge. Avoid starting here if there is a southeast wind, as you will be in the rotor from Totten. In winter 2002, with a DHV2 wing, I had a 40-meter clearance over the edge with a 3 m/s easterly wind. A weak lift over the western side of the valley helped a bit with altitude, but the clearance was not substantial. Are we soon getting paragliders with a glide ratio over 10? Landing options include the main landing area in the ski resort or the parking lots if it's summer and there are few cars around. The chairlift operates on many weekends throughout the summer and daily during the main holiday season. Check with the tourist information or the ski resort for more details.
