Also wave flying can be experienced. When the wind is westerly, waves are generated along the coast and echoed by the mountains between the coastline and the Gudbrandsdalen Valley. In May, most of the high altitude launches are snow-free. Vole is normally open by mid-May. Thermal activity remains strong but safe throughout the summer.
Conditions only become tricky in strong winds.
Vaga is typical for Norwegian mountainous regions and turns to flatland about 100 km flying to the south. The valley of Gudbrandsdalen ends in the Olympic city of Lillehammer where a much more argicultural district opens up. Flights have been done from Vaga, past Lillehammer and into the flatlands. The region offers some of the most beautiful nature and spectacular scenery in southern Norway. Apart from being ideal for flying, there is summer hiking, etc.
