Snowkiting on the Montespluga plain

Just a few kilometres from Madesimo, the Montespluga plain opens out like a plateau suspended in the mountains. In winter, the snow covers everything in its white blanket and the wind takes the lead in one of the season’s most spectacular experiences. This is one of the locations where you can try snowkiting, a sport that combines the freedom of snowboarding with the power of the wind. 

With skis or a board strapped to your feet and a kite or power kite guided by the strong gusts of wind, you can move over the white expanses, climbing the slopes or sliding over vast descents in complete freedom, Every blast of wind opens a new route, a new trail mapped out on the snow. No need for lifts or a motor, just the kinetic force to push, raise, and accompany you as you put yourself to the test.

The Montespluga plain is considered one of the best snowkiting spots in the Alps: plenty of space, compact snow, constant wind, and panoramas that seem to go on forever. From beginners to more expert riders, everyone finds their own rhythm here, thanks to schools and courses that give you the opportunity to try snowkiting at your own pace.

And while the colourful sails move against the blue sky and white snow, every ride is an adventure, driven by the wind and a desire to explore the surroundings from a whole new perspective.
