AKU Hike & Fly Sprint 2024

Second Edition AKU Hike & Fly Sprint

AKU Hike&Fly Sprint is a competition in 4 stages in the mountains of Val Belluna , through Alpago , up to the Venetian Prealps , with a formula also suitable for pilots who are new to Hike & Fly or for those who wish to test themselves and train for more challenging competitions such as the PreAlpiTour , or the Dolomiti Superfly .

As in every Hike & Fly activity, each stage has a climbing section and a flying section: the pilots will have to climb on foot, facing a free path of about 1000 meters of altitude difference , towards the take- off point, mostly on mountain paths , and then fly to the landing point , getting as close as possible to a target .

The event is organized by Para & Delta Club Feltre with the support of AKU .
