     Fly Kite and Ride

     Multi-Activity in Lake Como (Italy) with BG XC
 

X-treme Alps

[Full Image]
The idea is to get you to experience as much sport as possible. Depending on the weather conditions we will choose the most suitable time of day to embark on our paragliding tandem flight adventure. You will be strapped in a special paragliding harness and in the expert guidance of an experienced paragliding Pilot. Then you will have a fantastic experience flying around the alps in lake Como!

After the breath taking flight around the Alps you will begin a basic snowkiting lesson, learning the techniques and maneuvers to get towed around on the snow, by a kite! Next you will move onto one of the hottest new sports to hit the extreme world, speedriding. This involves gliding down the mountain with a miniature glider! This sport pushes the adrenalin levels through the roof but it is conducted in a safe and secure environment under the expert supervision of experienced speed riders.
obviously you will do a very controlled environment and conditions.

Snowkiting is a 3D sport full of energy so you must be reasonably fit and able to hike feeling comfortable in the snow and mountains.

Training is divided in 3 levels :

Level 1- Discover Snowkiting You start flying a miniature kite on land to understand the basic kite flying, wind window concept, overview of equipment use and the kite safety features. There is also a large emphasis on the importance and procedures concerning rescue techniques.

Level 2 – Intermediate Achieve total kite control with 4 foil kites, trim & depower, increase kite size as you gain control. Once you have mastered the basics it is time for the board or skis start and riding.

Level 3 - Independent Ride on the board consistently and begin to go upwind and start-jumping.

Snowboarding Training and tune up available

Speedflying is the newest way to glide down a mountain and involves a smaller scale glider. This makes a good combination with skis and allows for fast descent, riding, sliding, jumping and even flying over obstacles at speed even higher of 70km/h - 40mph !!!

You will begin speedriding on hills and then move on to small jumps and eventually multiple touch before going down steep
mountains. Snow slopes are the original form, however, sand dunes and all terrain boards or skis have been employed in recent seasons.

Also 'foot launched on high wind' is becoming a sport of its own due to its intense popularity.
