CAUTION!!! Skiing is the easiest and most fun way to start snowkiting, for reasons of comfort, balance and stability when stationary and in light winds.

Snowboarders and kitesurfers, we strongly advise you to try snowkiting on skis for at least the first hour.

On request, we can pick you up from your place of residence, from Briançon to Monétier les bains (Serre-chevalier valley) to the Col du Lautaret, depending on availability (limited to 8 people).

For us, it’s both! In summer we offer kite surfing and foiling lessons at Lac de Serre-Ponçon, and in winter we offer snowkite lessons at Col du Lautaret.

No, flying under professional supervision is not dangerous.

There are, however, some risks associated with unsupervised beginner flying, and we strongly advise you to start with an experienced FFVL-approved school.

No, contrary to popular belief, snowkiting is not an aerobatics sport. It’s a traction sport on snow that allows you to travel on the flat or uphill, and it also allows you to make jumps, but slope flying is not recommended.

Snowkiting is a sport open to everyone, provided you are in good physical condition and over 7 years old (with parental authorisation).

It can also be practised by people with disabilities, provided that special arrangements can be made.

With snowkiting, you’re on a gliding surface that’s load-bearing, so you don’t need to lift off (get out of the water), which means you need less wind power to move around.

In short, I kite with less wind on snow than on water.

You also have access to slopes that are more or less steep, depending on your level.

The exception that proves the rule: powder snow… It’s the cream of the crop! But it’s hell for beginners to snowkiting. With Kite Légende, you learn the rudiments of the discipline on a groomed surface in areas reserved for beginners.
