Les Mosses - Pra Cornet snowkite spot

Switzerland · Vaud

46.40 | 7.13

1650m

Overview

A spot as we like them. Large and wide plateau (500m wide ;-) ) perched on the edge of the Col des Mosses. On both sides of the plateau there are mountain slopes that can be used for slope soaring.
 There is also the possibility to take the ski lift.
 
 In short, a spot to discover...
