Dvorská / Luční Bouda

The Snowkite Centre at Dvorská, or Luční bouda, is exceptional for many reasons. It is cut off from the world, it is at an altitude of 1330 – 1410 m above sea level, it offers a high mountain climate and conditions, comfortable accommodation, a restaurant, its own brewery Paroháč (Luční) and you can see Sněžka in sight. We will transport you to Dvorská from the parking lot at Jezerní domky in Strážný (guarded parking 70 CZK / night), to Luční bouda we will transport you from the parking lot in Pec pod Sněžkou by scooter, snowmobile or caterpillar.

Conditions for kiting

Excellent wind conditions and the terrain around Luční bouda are ideal for snowkiting. However, you are in the first zone of the NP and snowkiting off the marked paths or in the immediate vicinity of the lodge is not allowed.

In central Europe, the prevailing wind is from the North Sea. It is therefore humid and supplies the Krkonoše with abundant precipitation, which means that in winter there are 1-3 metres of snow on the ridges.There are practically no mountains in the whole of northern Germany to slow down the wind, so it blows quite often and strongly on the plateau near Luční bouda. At Dvorská bouda it is then suitable especially for south wind directions and you can drive along the marked path to the chapel and then to Luční bouda, which is 4 km away.

Teambuilding

We recommend this snowkite center for “teambuilding events” or groups, where we can create a comprehensive program for up to 50 people. We can put together a program that will offer other outdoor activities besides snowkiting.

Snowkiting in the vicinity of Dvorská and Luční bouda is only possible when accompanied by persons authorized by Dvorská or Luční bouda.

About the courses

All courses include

Teaching kiting theory
Safety of kiting
Rental of all necessary equipment for snowkiting

Introductory course

In this introductory snowkiting course we will introduce you to powerkiting, both theoretically and practically.

The aim of this course is to give a short general introduction to powerkiting and to familiarize the participants with the basic skills in controlling small kites, safe take-off and landing. In the introductory snowkiting course you will learn what this sport is actually about and whether you would enjoy it enough to take up e.g. to multi-day courses or purchase their own kite outright. The familiarisation course is the starting point for any other course.
Within the scope of this course it is not possible to master kite riding.

One-day course

In the course you will learn the basic principles of powerkiting both theoretically and practically – including kite riding.

The aim of the one-day snowkiting course is to learn the basic skills with small and large kites, safe handling of equipment, mastering take-offs and landings, preparation for first runs and also your first ride behind a kite.
However, the possibility of a ride is influenced by your abilities and also by the weather conditions. If you ride a snowboard, we recommend a two-day course.

Two-day course

In this course we will teach you how to safely control several sizes and types of kites. We will also teach you how to ride safely behind the kite, including returning to the launch site.

In the first part of the course, we will introduce you to the necessary theory needed to master the kite, introduce you to safety when flying a kite, show you several types of kites and guide you through the training, after which you will be ready to ride the kite itself. The second day is focused on the riding itself and its gradual improvement. Our experienced instructors will be with you throughout the course.

Five-day course

In this course you will be fully initiated into the secrets of kiting and snowkiting, including the simplest tricks. Designed for those who want to pursue kiting to the fullest and at the highest level. A snowkiting course is the best choice to enter the world of powerkiting.

In the five-day snowkiting course, we will introduce you to the complete theory, including all the rules and principles of riding and information on how it is done at different spots and competitions. After mastering the actual kite ride, we will focus on the driving errors that we will try to eliminate. We will teach you how to ride safely between multiple riders (evasive manoeuvres, crisis situations). This course is usually divided into several dates or we recommend to take it at one of our camps.
