Vi teller ned…
Vikersund har god rutine på å arrangere skiflygingsrenn. Vi har hatt 6 World Cup-renn siden forrige VM (RAW AIR 2020 og 2021 avlyst pga. corona). Men et VM er noe helt spesielt og spektakulært. Arenaen er noe forandret de siste årene, og siden 2012 har det kommet til en fotballhall som skal brukes under arrangementet. Forberedelser er i full gang, de fleste ledere er på plass og vi gleder oss til å fylle tribunene med folkefest!
Billettsalget starter i september, følg med på våre web sider. Dette gjelder både ordinære billetter og VIP billetter.
