Luxury Kulm Hotel St Moritz Launches Kite Skiing Package

 

Luxury Kulm Hotel St Moritz Switzerland

Kite skiing is a fairly recent development in the snow sports industry, having been developed by explorers in the noughties as a wind-assisted way to reach the South Pole that much faster. It shares similarities with cross-country rather than downhill skiing (as it is practised on flat surfaces), apart from the fact that participants can use boards as well as skis to glide across the snow (making it comparable to water skiing and wakeboarding).

This winter season, for the first time ever, guests of the Kulm Hotel St. Moritz can learn how to kite ski at speed over the frozen lakes of the Upper Engadine thanks to the launch of a new two-night package.

Guests will have their first kite skiing session on the more protected Lake Bianco, before testing their new-found skills on Lake Silvaplana. The latter provides ideal conditions for kite skiing, as it is located at the southern end of the Engadine, allowing the kites to really pick up the wind as it whistles through the valley.

The Kulm’s kite skiing package includes:

– 2 nights’ half-board accommodation (with dinner in one of the Kulm’s five restaurants)
– 2 x 3-hour kite skiing lessons (on separate mornings)
– 1 x 50 minute AktiVital massage treatment to ease those tired muscles
– 1 x lunchtime fondue after the first lesson
– Late check-out at 3pm

The package costs from CHF 1240 (approx £850) per person sharing a double room.
