This winter season Paracademy X will be running a series of snowkite camps from the Lake Silvaplana in the Swiss Alps. The location is perfect for people wanting to learn the sport, with the spot offering miles of perfect flat snow on top of the frozen lake. Silvaplana’s geographical location also uniquely provides a consistent wind pattern, with valley winds driving up from Italy across the Engadine lake plateau, providing a prevailing south west wind generally between 3-5 bft. during the winter months.
Locally Paracademy X has joined forces with Kitesailing Silvaplana who operate a school at the edge of the lake. This not only enables Paracademy X to ensure you have all the correct equipment for the day’s conditions, but also provides a café to warm up in after a hard days kiting on the lake. Plus there is the all important kite shop for those bits and pieces you might find you suddenly can’t live without.
Paracademy X snowkite camps will be running between January and April.
