Expeditions Unlimited blog

At Expeditions Unlimited, snowkiting isn't just one activity among others. It's our DNA. We are a team of guides, explorers and passionate riders. Our expertise is built on thousands of kilometres travelled across the Arctic, on dozens of guided expeditions, on an intimate knowledge of katabatic winds, mountain aerology and the ever-changing conditions of the Far North. It rests on experienced guides like Michael Charavin, a member of the IPGA (International Polar Guide Association) and a pioneer of the great kite-powered crossings. We build logical progressions, solid learning paths and carefully managed skill development. From the beginner discovering their first pull in the Alps to the self-sufficient kiter crossing 1,600 kilometres of the Greenland ice cap, we support every step. We have charted four itineraries. From first initiation to the ultimate expedition. From your first ride at the Col du Lautaret to the full crossing of Greenland. Snowkiting opens the doors to the planet's greatest white deserts, from Greenland to Antarctica. It turns constraint into play, effort into pleasure, distance into pure sensation. We have charted four itineraries for you. From first initiation to the ultimate expedition. So whatever your level today, one question remains: how far will you go?
