Mont Crosin snowkite spot
Switzerland · Berne
Overview
Mont Crosin is a large hill located behind the Chasseral. The spot is often well ventilated and works in almost all wind directions. It is easily accessible and does not require a long approach walk. In principle, you need to walk 1 kilometer on snowshoes or skins to reach the upper plateau; if you don't have snowshoes or skins, it's perfectly doable on foot by following the cross-country ski trail.
