Best Conditions
Description
Located at an altitude of 1054 meters, this site is frequently used and is considered one of the best cross-country (XC) spots in Norway. However, be aware that sometimes the gate is closed, which would require a 4km walk. It's advisable to check the gate status beforehand.
Region: Riksanlegget, Norway. The site record is 135.4 km.
The main launch site at Riksanlegget is broad and obstacle-free, suitable for pilots of all levels. You can see the landing zone from the start. The best conditions for launching are with winds from the southeast (SE) to southwest (SW), but it is also possible to launch in pure west or east winds.
The parking lot area serves as the hang gliding (HG) launch, but paragliders (PG) can also start here. A bit further to the left is the dedicated PG launch, which can also be used by HG pilots.
The landing zone at the national center is situated in a small funnel, making it somewhat challenging when valley winds pick up. If the wind increases, observe the river and avoid flying over it during your approach in high winds. In strong westerly conditions, consider landing closer to the center at Lalm or top landing to avoid the funnel effect. It's a good idea to discuss these conditions with local pilots.
This site offers excellent opportunities for ridge soaring, thermal soaring, and thermals, making it suitable for both local flights and long-distance XC flights.
