Top Snowkiting Spots in France

I recommend arriving by 9 AM. It gets really crowded and can be a bit overwhelming. Plus, you'll get to ride when the wind is usually at its best. The peace of morning is lovely!

If you're new to snowkiting I suggest taking a lesson the first day. It made all the difference for me! They really help you get the hang of it quickly. Save yourself the struggle and go for the introductory class.

Check out the rental shops before the day you plan to kite. I found some pretty good deals online that were way cheaper than what I saw in the shops on-site. Don't just go for convenience.

My advice is to pack some snacks and a thermos with hot beverage. The cafes can get busy and pricey. Trust me, having your own little break setup on the snow is super cozy!

I suggest renting your gear in Avoriaz instead of Morzine. It's more convenient and lets you get started faster! Plus, you'll probabaly find better deals on rentals right there.

Check for deals at local shops! We stumbled upon a promo for lift passes if you bought them with equipment rentals... My advice is to ask around, you never know what discounts you might find!

Check the weather before you go! It changed on us, and we ended up having a snowy day when we could've been out snowkiting. I recommend keeping an eye on local forecasts

Be sure to pack some snacks and lunch. The restaurants can be pricey, and we found it hard to get good quick bites on the mountain. I think you'll save some money and have more fun.

Definitely take the time to explore some off-piste areas. I found a hidden gem that wasn’t crowded, making for an epic day of snowboarding!

For lunch, skip the pricey mountain restaurants and find a cozy spot in the village instead... I saved tons and the food was way better than I expected!

I recommend renting your gear before you arrive. The rental shops in town were cheaper than at the resort, plus you avoid those long lines when you get there.

Definitely rent your snowkiting gear in advance. I found that it saved me a ton of time comparing prices and didn’t have to stress over availability when I got there.

Check the weather and wind conditions before you head out. I overlooked this and ended up with a less-than-ideal kiting day. Save yourself the disappointment!

Try the local cafés around 3 PM. They really quiet down then, and you can enjoy a cozy atmosphere with great pastries while unwinding from the day on the slopes.

Don't miss out on the local food. Check out the small restaurants nearby for hearty mountain meals – they’re not only delicious but also budget-friendly compared to the bigger places.

Look out for weather updates before heading up. Conditions can change quickly; I got caught in some harsh winds that cut my day short. Plan your sessions wisely!

I suggest arriving around 9 AM to avoid the crowds and snag the best spots for snowkiting. Later in the afternoon, it gets pretty packed up on the slope!

I suggest bringing your own gear if you can. Rental costs add up super quick, and I found some great deals online. Plus, it felt way more comfortable than the stuff I rented
