Haugastol, Norway
I first travelled to Haugastol in 2011 to teach a one-week snow-kiting course. It literally changed my life. I now offer training courses exclusively at Haugastol and on the nearby Hardangervidda Plateau. I also spend all of my winter holidays there. In my opinion, it’s the best snow-kiting location in the world. It has superb access, consistent wind, great snow cover and amazing terrain. Check out the snow-kite map.
