Jaunpass snowkite spot
Switzerland · Berne
Overview
Very little information about this spot. If you have more, don't hesitate to send it to us. The spot is not big, you must avoid going down the south slope as there is a power line just below the summit. The north side is safer, with a nice slope, except the orientation is not always the best for ridge soaring. The top of the dome allows you to play at: ridge soaring on the north side. (reminder: south = danger > power line)
