Overview

Snowkite

Fairly flat spot, works well with bise wind, it enters laminar. Some bushes and stakes are scattered throughout the spot.

The 3 last sinkholes in the middle form nice bowls and the first one is bordered by barbed wire.

The spot is just south (after the long grove) of the festival site 'le chant du gros', but with strong NE bise it's possible to start almost from the Noirmont train station
