Many pilots associate the Upper Valais with unforgettable impressions - high mountains, glaciers, reliable thermals, magnificent flights. But few know the Goms as a hike-and-fly region, the quaint villages off the main road, the huts high above the valley basin. We have combined our own best spots with the Fly-SwissAlps – once for ambitious hike-and-fly pilots with some experience (Challenge Tour) and once challenging as a unique 24-hour Pro-Race. Day and night in the mountains is magical! Both races will leave lasting memories!
Marc Fischer - Race Director
The race starts at Kühboden and with your race number you can use the gondola for free. The first points are further up at the "Gletscherstube" checkpoint. From there you can head for the next points at Breithorn, Grengiols, Chäserstatt and Fiesch (landing site). The checkpoints are also feeding points for the Swiss Alps 100.
The alpine landscape of Goms, shaped by glaciers, is of unique beauty and offers space for a challenging hike'n'fly race. More details about the tasks will be provided later. It will be a challenge to fly as well as to run – that's for sure. Register today! We will allocate a maximum of 30 starting places!
Thank you Peter (engelberg-cup.ch) for your great movie!
