Activity description

Try out a group or private beginner course to learn the snow-kite basics, freedom, and fun, a new way to feel the mountain spirit!

Snowkiting is easy to learn, you just need the basics of skiing or snowboarding. 
If you are a kitesurfer already, try another way to practice your favorite sport which you can use to explore the mountains in winter, away from crowded ski slopes!

Around mid-January the Silvaplana Lake freezes solid and transforms into a snowkite heaven - a huge space liberated from obstacles with superb mountain landscape. It's viewed as one of the world's most prominent snowkite spots. Go ahead and pick either riding skis or a snowboard, depending upon your ability level and loving.

Silvaplana is just 150 km from Milan and 3 hours from Zurich.

During the course you will learn:

- Theoretical basis, information on the equipment, and a brief on the safety training

- A flying session with exercises first without skis or snowboard

- Then you will gear up with either skis or a snowboard once you gain confidence and start riding! 

You will have the choice between a beginner course, a private course, and a course for kitesurfers that already rides upwind.
