Snowkiting in the Khibiny — K1 school

Snowkiting in the Khibiny

The winter season at K1 means snowkiting in the Khibiny and the Murmansk region. Learning on snow is easier than on water: firm ground under you, soft powder, and no worry about deep water.

Why the Murmansk region

If you already ski or snowboard, you are halfway there — what's left is learning to fly the kite.

In the early part of the season we ride and teach in Kirovsk, about 200 km from Murmansk; later we move to Murmansk itself, where the tundra kite tour runs. You don't have to come for weeks — a weekend timed to the forecast works too.

What makes it work

Steady wind

Even, moderate wind — the most important condition for a good session.

Huge snowfields

Endless snow-covered spaces the size of dozens of football pitches, covered in soft powder.

Easy to reach

About 3 hours by plane from Moscow to Murmansk or Apatity.

Everything on site

Transfers to the spots, warm rooms and plenty of fresh kite gear for everyone.

What to bring
