Takeoff description
Welcome to Arnipa on Andøya. From Arnipa you can take off in almost every direction. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk up from the main parking site in the north. North/North east: Take off towards the valley and head towards the road. You can land on the bog. East/South east: This area is best for soaring, and can be quite funny! Towards the south can it be quite steep so possibilities for some turbulence in the area. The whole mountain is covered in sharp rocks, so be aware!
