Description
I would like to introduce you to snowkiting, a unique experience that combines gliding over the snow with the power of wind traction using a kite. With your snowboard at your feet, you will learn to tame your kite as you glide across the Alpe d'Huez ski area.
With the wind at our backs, we can go endlessly for long rides. What's more, unlike water, we can practice in all 3 dimensions, playing with wind, slope and gradient.
In short, snowkiting is freedom!
The prerequisite for this day is to be able to snowboard down a red slope.
To continue your learning in the activity, you can take a 3 half-day intermediate snowkiting course and then this course to move towards snowkiting autonomy at l'Alpe d'Huez. You can also discover the resort's off-piste itineraries during a freeride snowboarding session in Alpe d'Huez.
