Snowkiting Lessons Switzerland
Bernina pass, Silvaplana, St. Moritz in Engadin
Snowkiting is an exciting and thrilling winter sport that combines kite-flying with snowboarding or skiing across mountains, frozen lakes, and snow-covered fields.
At Flyin’ Circus, we are professional kiteboarding instructors with over 10 years of experience. Safety, fun, and student satisfaction are our top priorities. Our courses are suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners.
In 2022, Flyin’ Circus underwent a major transformation to become a professional and well-equipped snowkiting school, located at the Bernina Pass in Engadin, Switzerland – one of the best snowkiting spots in the region, just a short distance from St. Moritz.
We offer daily snowkiting lessons, support for snowkiters, kite equipment rental and sales, and a snowkite base complete with a weather station, webcam, seating, storage, toilet, and parking directly at the Bernina Pass snowkite spot.
Our beginner course includes all necessary kite equipment and three hours of training with an instructor, including theory. On the second and third days, students can practice under the supervision and support of the instructor using walkie talkies.
During the course, you will learn about safety, wind, weather, equipment, kite control, launching and landing, and using the kite to ride a ski or snowboard. Once you have mastered these skills, you can move on to advanced techniques such as riding uphill, jumping, and more.
The snowkiting course will take place at Bernina Pass, Silvaplana, or any other suitable snowkiting spot depending on weather and wind conditions. Most students are able to have their first ride on the first day of the course, and it typically takes about three days to become an independent snowkiter.
We offer something for everyone. For newcomers we recommend a 2-3 day course and for those who have already tried or come from the water there is a shortened “transition course”. Our beginner snowkiting course includes complete kite equipment (kites and harnesses) and three hours of training per day with an instructor, including theory. After the training, you will have the opportunity to continue practicing with instructor support for the remainder of the day (pending instructor approval).
Please note that ski or snowboard equipment, helmets, insurance, accommodation, transportation, lift passes, food, and drinks are not included in the course fee. These items will need to be provided or purchased separately.

What our clients say
Course w/ Iggy (Flyin’CircusKiteboarding) @ KiteSeason spot, SicilyThe spot is located by the shallow but large lagoon near Trapani (Sicily, IT) so there was no deep water what’s a great option for beginners. The spot was well equipted by latest kites, boards and everything you need for the kiting. Everybody would have a great background there. Iggy is a pro instructor with, the whole course he had smile on his face and calmly interacted in every situation. He explained everything and learning from him was easy-to-follow. I did a great progress and started to ride within the first day of the course. The second day was about riding, upwind riding and turning.
I would give more than 5 stars if i couldI had an amazing kite experience and every single day I made an improvement – not because i would be talented, but because Iggy is a great kite instructor – he was always willing to answer any questions I had and his optimism kept me going even if I felt it wouldn’t be possible. The whole course was led very professionally with an emphasis on safety and also the overall atmosphere was always relaxed and fun. I admire the patience Iggy had with me and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn kiteboarding in no time.
