The summit is just the beginning. Welcome to Hike & Fly Vario by theFlightVario - the essential paragliding flight instrument designed specifically for hike & fly enthusiasts and local pilots.
When you don't need complex cross-country routing, dense airspace maps, or thermal visualizations, this app delivers exactly what you need to catch local lift, extend your flight and simply enjoy being in the air.
🎨 BIG, BOLD, CUSTOMIZABLE COCKPIT
Keep your eyes on the scenery, not your screen. Hike & Fly Vario uses big, high-contrast tiles so you can read the relevant information at a single glance. The interface is 100% customizable - you can easily build any layout featuring your altitude, glide ratio, and wind compass, or drag and drop your further tiles to create your perfect minimalist flight deck.
🚀 NEXT-GENERATION VARIO ENGINE
Powered by the exact same high-end Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) technology as our flagship XC Vario app, delivering uncompromising zero-lag performance.
• AI Sense V3 - IMU Technology: High-end precision with outstanding location accuracy directly from your smartphone's internal sensors.
• Zero-Lag Audio: What you hear is what you feel. Instant, intuitive acoustic feedback for centering local lift.
• Background Mode: Save maximum battery on long hikes or extended flights by running the vario continuously with your screen turned off.
