La Jasserie snowkite spot
France · Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
Overview
La Jasserie is a large snowkite spot on the Pilat plateau at 1325m altitude (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes). The area offers several hectares of fully open terrain with no power lines, no trees in the riding zones, and no fences — ideal for progression.
Three launch zones depending on wind direction:
- North / West wind: park at the lower bend, rig just below and ride up to the practice zone.
- South wind: park below the Col de la Perdrix (highest point), rig to the right of the road to reach the top easily.
North-West and West-North-West winds are the most favorable — steady and covering the whole area. East and South sectors are gusty and irregular; high-depower kites strongly recommended.
