This season we invite you to join us on a trip to the famous «Col du Lautaret» (Lautaret Pass), where everyday is a snowkite day. We will be joining the BSD snowkite camp at the French spot, considered one of the best for snowkiting worldwide, for its his great snow coverage and daily wind conditions. Read on for more info.
THE SPOT
Lautaret Pass is located in Serre Chevalier valley, known for its 300 days of sunshine a year. At 2058 meters above sea level the Lautaret pass benefits from very good snow conditions, beginning November through to May, and is easily accessible thanks to a good road. Its prime location offers frequent and steady winds as well as plenty of open space for you to enjoy snowkiting in peace.
