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 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.

Two parking areas: one at the last bend before the La Jasserie inn, one at the inn's own parking. Riding zones are 5–20m from the cars. Please park responsibly.
Some trees at the edges but main riding zones are clear. A 4m wind sock on the north face — easily avoidable. South wind is very gusty: for experienced riders only with appropriate kites.
