Destination Summary

Ålesund

All year kite destination close to the western tip of Norway! With most of the kite spots just a 15min drive from the city that has been voted Norways most beautiful city. Keep an eye out the window of the plane coming in, as SAS pilots also voted the approach to Vigra - Ålesund airport, Norways most beautiful approach (apparently its a beautiful place)..

The region can have quite unpredictable winds, but on a regular basis there will be a lot of kiteable days throughout the whole year. Autumn and winter has the strong winds, and from time to time when a storm arrives (or whats left of it), there is possibilities for some really big air! Bring a winter wetsuit!

Spring and summer brings moderate winds, and especially spring time normally provide weeks of good stable winds from Northeast. The most popular spot on this direction has a lagoon with great flat water and kickers on the outside.
