Les Estables station: the referent "spot" for snowkiting in Auvergne but also in France!
Derived from kitesurfing, snowkiting is a booming activity. With skis or a snowboard on our feet, we guide this sail which offers us an almost infinite playground, leaving plenty of room for new sensations.
Snowkiting is a free activity where you can go off-piste (only 10 cm of snow is enough). However, it is highly recommended to start with at least 3 hours of group lessons or private lessons with the Les Estables Snowkiting School. You learn about the different safety systems and the aerology in order to tame the winds so particular in the mountain ranges.
In addition to being very well rated, the Estables spot has the advantage of being very accessible: park, take out your sail and kite.
Les Estables is one of the best spots in France, easy to access and perfect for beginners. We have nothing to envy to the Alps or the Pyrenees.'
We tested snowkiting in Estables
One day, in minus 15°, we went to test snowkiting with Didier Botta and his group of friends who are keen on snowkiting.
It's up to you to kite!
After reading this article, you really want to try? Before kiting and doing freestyle like a champion, Didier also gives individual or group lessons in the snowkiting school “les 2 Vents”.
