64 EVENTS Last stop: Ragnarok The snowkiting heroes are about to return to the fighting arena. In fact, according to the Scandinavian mythology, the term Ragnarǫk refers to the final battle between the powers of light and order, which challenged the powers of darkness and chaos and following which the entire world would be destroyed and only the greatest would survive. That's how the Red Bull Ragnarok event, a snowkite competition, scheduled from 30th March to 2nd April 2017 in Haugastøl, Norway, borrows the epic from that ancient myth to pay tribute to the men and women of today. Competitors similar to warriors who in this extreme trial on ice challenge themselves and the elements with just one objective: be the first to cross the finishing line.
A t t h e f i n i s h i n g l i n e t h r o u g h t h e g r e a t e s t e f f o r t s The 6th edition is ready to start This year more than 300 athletes from 30 countries will gather at the starting line of this great competition that smacks of adventure, fatigue, bravery and which now rates as one of the most anticipated events in the international snowkite circuit. At its 6th edition, the event will take place on the Hardangervidda mountain plateau, a large snow-capped area, about 260 kilometres Northwest of Oslo and which between wintertime and springtime offers fantastic conditions for this discipline.
