Snowkiting in Norway

What does a day look like at the camp?

A certain routine always develops very quickly. The house wakes up at around eight o'clock - very slowly and without an alarm clock. There is stress elsewhere, but not with us.

First there is a decent breakfast with Norwegian strawberry jam (insider tip!) eggs, bacon and fresh fruit, because you need strength for the day. At ten o'clock we drive up to the plateau. 

We choose the spot with the best wind and snow conditions. We kite there all day long and usually take breaks near our car. A group can get together and take a longer break and drive to a café at the pass and treat themselves to a coffee with insanely delicious waffles by the fireplace or an exorbitantly expensive € 10.- beer. But it tastes fantastic. 

At around 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. we will return to the hut. Then the sauna is turned on and we cook together. We end the evening by the open fireplace with a large glass of red wine.

You get as much practice time in Norway as you do in Austria in four years. This will make you tremendous progress. Even we ourselves are always surprised how much one can learn there!

It definitely makes sense to use our kite material, because then you are always well equipped for all conditions. So if you do not have your own or not the appropriate equipment, you are welcome to rent it from us, in Norway we have Peak, Hybrid and Soul with us.

Flysurfer specializes in foil kites and you can't go wrong with that.

We would also recommend you to consider a dedicated snowkite harness. Many camp participants discover on site how comfortable a special harness can be for snowkiting.

We offer supervision during this camp. Our coaches will be on-site to give you tips and answer your questions. However, there will be no traditional kitesurfing lessons or coaching.

The Norwegian terrain guarantees rapid learning success. You'll usually have to reset your goals within the week—no, we're not being arrogant about that at all.

In one week, you'll get as many practice hours as we would get in several years. This way, you'll learn a tremendous amount. Kite handling is key, whether on the water or on the snow. That's exactly what you'll perfect here in Norway.

You get amazingly good light wind skills and learn how to loop up the mountain. You will also practice your kite relaunch and become a better kiter in general.

We dedicate € 130.- budget per person for food. We have eaten very well for this amount in recent years, because shopping for the group makes it cheaper. As an individual, the budget would be used up in three days. We always cook together in the evening and end the day comfortably in front of the fireplace.

Once we will have pizza in Geilo and on the last evening (Saturday) there will be a final dinner in the snowkit hotel. 

Arrival is via Oslo. We recommend a flight to Oslo and the subsequent onward journey by rental car to Haugastøl. We coordinate car pools with you so that you can get from the airport to the meeting point in Haugastøl as quickly and cheaply as possible.

Some airlines allow you to add ski luggage to your flight for free. This allows you to bring 8 kg of hand luggage, 23 kg of regular luggage, and 23 kg of ski luggage. We often add a kite or two to our ski luggage.

Money: You don't need to exchange money in advance. You can pay for almost everything with a card in Norway, even in the smallest café in the middle of nowhere.

Internet: Norway is in the EU roaming zone. That means you can use your mobile internet as normal and consume your free units.

We would be happy to send you an offer for cancellation and / or travel insurance.
