# Snowkite lessons, step by step

Vitosha SnowKite School teaches snowkiting on the Vitosha plateau above Sofia, Bulgaria, at 1,960 m across three levels, from a first session with a kite to riding on your own. Lessons are taught by Yordan Rangelov; the kite equipment is included, and skis or a snowboard, ski goggles and warm clothing are your own — goggles are required. First glides come after 3–4 hours of instruction, so a lesson is a first introduction and the course is the way there. Prices start at €60 for 1 hour. Lessons run through the season (December to April).
