INSTÄLLD TÄVLING
CANCELLED
Tyvärr måste vi meddela att pg a pandemin ställer vi in årets tävling. Den höga smittspridningen och det osäkra läget gör att Riksidrottsförbundet och Flygsportförbundet inte kan komma med klara besked om när tävlingsverksamheten får dra igång. Det är nu bara en månad kvar till tävlingsstart och vi ställer därför in årets tävling.
Vi ses såklart nästa år, då blir det race som aldrig förr!!!
Ska bli kul att få träffa såväl nya piloter som gamla rävar 2022!
Välkommen till Kittelfjäll 2022!
Welcome to Kittelfjäll 2022!

Swedish Word for "Kittel" means "cauldron", which is the form that the mountains make around the village below - a perfect thermic paradise from April to October. The terrain is rocky and alpine with flats 20km to the east, and a mountain range that runs north towards Hemavan and south towards Borgafjäll.

Set in the snow-capped mountains of Lappland, the competition is very well-suited to newer pilots who want to accelerate their cross-country flying progress by learning from more experienced pilots. We have easy tasks, that mainly goes downwind or cross the Mountains nearby, suitable for beginner pilots. The thermals in spring in this area could be lively, with temperatures that could drop in night and a sun that sets at 11 PM and rises up again at 2 am. This of course temperatures varies a lot every year.
Also advanced pilots can have a challange in the comp, and we have previously set several Swedish declared goal records during these events (and bagged them!). Yet, the organizers ensure that the events are first of all safe and reasonable for the weather conditions and logistics.

Free flyers or those curious about this event are also welcome and can contact the organizers. Wind dummies and drivers are greatly appreciated!

Kittelfjäll usually offers excellent flying weather at this time of year, and almost always has valid tasks even when the weather forecast is poor over the course of four competition days. Conditions for a comp start usually turn on around 11-12:00. The temperature can range from around 0 degrees Celsius at night to 30 degrees in the day. Cloudbase is often around 1600m AGL (2000m ASL). Long summer days in the north provide extended evening flying times and no threat of landing too late after dusk (no night!). And don't worry about bombing out in tiger country. There are a lot of small rivers and streams that are safe and delicious to drink from.

SC Kittelfjäll is the second of the year in the Swedish Cup for 2021. It has been held every year for over 20 years by experienced organizers and is now a very well-oiled machine. We have excellent retrieval support from knowledgeable locals.
