ACCOMMODATION & MEALS

We will stay at home of Red Bull Ragnarok, the beautiful Haugastøl Turistsenter. This family owned tourist hotel is the home of many great snowkiters during the winter season. We will stay at the top floor apartments with all the facilities available. The apartments also have their own fully equipped kitchen if you’d like to bring some local food or drinks. All meals from Monday 28th until Thursday 31st in the afternoon is included in the price. Beverages is purchased on site.

Note: accommodation for the event & race days, Thursday until Sunday, is not included and must be booked private.

COACHING

Previous winners and participants of the Red Bull Ragnarok ski and snowboard class will be your hosts. Have you never snowkited before? Not to worry, we’ll have you up and running on the first day! We can also arrange for rental of kites, snowboard or skis if you want to travel light. If you are en experienced snowkiter, we’ll coach you in the direction that will give you the advantage you are looking for in the race.

GUIDED TOURS AROUND PREVIOUS RAGNAROK TRACKS

Ragnarok has taken place 4 times, and the track is never exactly the same. Sometimes some of the route is similar, sometimes it’s at a completely different place on the plateau. We have participated at all of them, and we know these mountain plains very well. Natural obstacles are a part of this race – but don’t worry; there are ways around jumping off cliffs. But if you’d like to fly out – we’ll teach you how.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR YOUR RIDING AND THE RACE

Sharing a starting line with 300 kiters is a one in a lifetime experience for many, and it can be a bit intimidating. We’ll help you make a plan for your race, even if you’re aiming to just make one lap, finish the race or is aiming for a top position. For many, the mental challenge of finishing, especially in low wind conditions or in really tough weather, are just as tough if not tougher, for many. This race is a fun event, and we’ve got some great tips to share with you to keep a positive vibe throughout the race. When the going gets thought – we’ll make sure the snowflakes keeps going!
