Description

I am offering an "independent" snowkiting on snowboard course for people who want to take the time to discover, train and progress in this incredible sport. During this 5-half-day course, you will have access to little-traveled and off the beaten track mountain areas accessible from the Alpe d'Huez ski area. You will be moving through not steep adventure terrain, minimizing the avalanche risk factor.

To take part in this day, you need to be able to snowboard down a red slope.

For beginners, we recommend starting with a half-day snowkite discovery course, followed by the intermediate snowkiting course in l'Alpe d'Huez. And if you want to have fun and discover the resort's off-piste itineraries, you can follow me for a freeride snowboarding session on the Alpe d'Huez ski area.
