Big mountain up. Easy flight down.
Hike & Fly Xtreme is for hikers who want more. We climb 800–1,200 m up a high mountain and take off from an unofficial takeoff, picked by that day's forecast. The hard part is the walk. The flight down is as easy as on any of our flights.

How it works
- 01Book and tell me about your hikesA few lines about the mountains you've walked help me pick the right peak. Got one in mind? Suggest it.
- 02The forecast picks the mountainWhen the conditions are good, I choose the peak and the takeoff and send you the meeting point and time on WhatsApp.
- 03We hike 800–1,200 m upUsually 2–4 hours at a steady mountain pace, with breaks for water and the view. I carry the flying gear. Want to help for a stretch? We can switch.
- 04You fly downA short briefing, a few running steps, and the way down becomes a flight. This part is just as easy as on our other flights.
Which mountains?
Some of the peaks we have in mind: Stol, Begunjščica and Dovška Baba in the Karawanks, Zvoh and Velika planina in the Kamnik Alps, and Blegoš in the Škofja Loka Hills.
The forecast decides the takeoff on the day. Have your own peak in mind? Tell me, and I'll tell you if it's doable.
The hard part is the walk
"Xtreme" is about the effort on foot, not the flight. The takeoffs are unofficial, but I only pick safe ones. I've flown from more than 100 takeoffs in Slovenia, many of them on high mountains, so I know where to go.
What if we can't fly?
Mountain weather can change. If the conditions at the top aren't right, we don't fly: we walk back down together. You pay nothing: no flight, no payment. That risk is mine. It's also why this flight asks for real mountain legs.
Is it for me?
This one has a real fitness test. Tick all of these and you're in.
Hike & Fly is 600–800 m on foot, 1–2 hours up. A proper hike, just a shorter one.

Questions from the trail
How fit do I need to be?
Mountain-fit. You can hike 800–1,200 m uphill in 2–4 hours, you go to the mountains at least once a month, and you have a few high peaks behind you.
Is the flight harder than on the other flights?
No. Only the walk is harder. I pick a safe takeoff, and the flight down is just as easy.
Can I choose the mountain?
You can suggest one. Tell me the peak, and I'll tell you if it's doable. On the day, the forecast has the final say.
What if the weather turns?
If the conditions at the top aren't right, we walk down together instead of flying, and you pay nothing. If the forecast is bad, we pick another day.
Can we go all year?
Yes. The forecast picks the mountain and the takeoff on the day.

Ready when the sky is.
Pick a flight and a date. I'll tell you where and when once the conditions are good. You pay only after the flight.
