The snowkiting area, right on the border between Italy and France, at an altitude of 2,188 metres on the Little Saint Bernard Pass, where nature becomes increasingly powerful, as does the wind.
The area is vast and easy to reach thanks to the ski lifts. The scenery is priceless, with Mont Blanc reigning supreme over those who decide to surf the immaculate slopes in freedom and safety. 

If you are a beginner, you will have the opportunity to refine your technique with the help of one of the instructors at the La Thuile snowkiting school. If you are an expert, you will find snowkiting instructors ready to reveal the mysteries of pure fun and a technique that challenges the most ethereal element of the mountains. With snowkiting in La Thuile, the power of nature is tailored to your enjoyment.

Snowkite: how does it work?

Snowkite can be practiced with a kite. Thanks to the wind traction, the kite flies and hauls the skier, who is able to surf on the snow and have fun with jumps and evolutions. By exploiting the wind’s power one can both ascend and descend slopes and, thus, not use the ski facilities to move.

• Activity suitable for any kind of skier
• Instructors available
• The activity can be practiced with ski, snowboard or telemark equipment
