Activity description

Transition from the water to the snow and learn how to snowkite in the Simplon Pass, a world-renowned snowkiter’s paradise!

Get high on adrenaline and say goodbye to the pure powder beneath as you fly with the wind. These courses are designed for experienced kitesurfers who are looking to add another power kiting sport under their belt!

In comparison to kitesurfing, some of the advantages of snowkiting is that you can use your physical surroundings to grab air, it takes less wind to get you gliding across the snow than to navigate across the water, it’s much easier to keep your balance on snow, and holding an edge in snow is less challenging than in water so up-wind progress is easier!

With the wind powering you, you can be sure to ski or ride even greater distances as you explore unknown areas of Switzerland’s majestic mountains. Push the boundaries of snowboarding or skiing, and harness the power of the wind!
