 FlyMountains, the 1st Snowkiting school in Savoie !
We offer Snowkiting courses, for beginners from 8years of age, to experienced. While snowkiting, you're NOT flying, but simply using the wind power as your personnal ski-lift. Go and discover the mountain freely.Exceptionnal spot, safe and beautiful, where you can go snowkiting facing Mt Blanc
Our goal is to share our passion, to help you discover and love this fantastic sport, in the best conditions possible. All instructors are specifically trained by the French Federation (FFVL)
SNOWKITING is the best gateway to access KITESURFING. Since you're on hard ground (snow) and you only need light wind to start sliding, it is way easier, safer and quicker to learn how to handle the kite. After a few days on snow this winter, you'll be ready to hit the beach next summer and kick ass on a Kiteboard !
