Your snowkiting lessons
Do you really want to learn snowkiting? Then the focus needs to be on:
Duration: 24 – 36 hours within 6 days
DAY 1
Hour 1: theory, terminology, wind window specifics.
Hour 2: unpacking and packing the kite, security, safety release.
Hour 3 – 4: basic handling of small kite, starting and landing first riding attempts.
Hour 5 – 6: If you are capable of basic independent riding, you can use the equipment for the rest of the day for further practise. The instructor will keep an eye on you, ride in the same area and guide you via intercom if needed.
DAY 2
Hour 1 – 2: theory of upwind/downwind riding and turns + live examples, launch & land area selection, multiple ways of launching and landing the kite.
Hour 3 – 4: guided upwind/downwind riding and techniques, turns.
Hour 5 – 6: independent guided riding for the rest of the day.
DAY 3 – 6
In the remaining time you will learn:
- to ride up/down the mountain
- terrain navigation
- safety
- kite looping.
You can try to fly different kite brands and models and gain more knowledge about “reading the wind” and riding across the wide open landscape.
You can learn first jumps and explore the endless plains of the Hardangervidda plateau on some longer backcountry trip with your snowkite!
1 day = 4 - 6 hours
Depending on what do you wish and how you are trained.
Focus on you
This is a snowkite course with only up to 4 students per instructor.
Beginners - safety first
We always try to give you your own kite as soon as possible, based on your safety, the weather (wind strength, visibility, etc.) and the character of the group. Start 4 students sharing 1 kite, end each with your own.
Advanced - the kite is only yours
When you can safely control the kite, you get your own one. Then there is 1 instructor per 4 snowkiters and 4 kites. Do you want to learn snowkiting? Then you need to have the possibility to train!
Small groups
Snowkiting is about the ultimate freedom in endless space! We organize lessons only for small groups, maximum of 3 instructors and 12 snowkiters.
Place with one of the best conditions for snowkiting in the world

Huge ridable area, stable wind and really looong winter season. Giant lakes, gradual hills, lots of snow. No trees or wires wide far. Just whistling wind, you … and kite!
Fagerheim is kind of a strategic location. Being located by the main road at the Hardangervidda plateau, you can kite right in front of your door or reach any spot on the plateau within 15-minute drive. If you are looking for a beginner conditions and flat area or advanced terrains with steep hills and valleys of powder, both are just a stone’s throw from our base.
