Overview

Edit

Attention, starting from the Isleten has only been permitted for club members and day members since 2021. Since 2016 there has been an IKO water sports school from the port of Flüelen called Kite Addicted. With a great crew and a big boat, you will spend unforgettable kite days on the Urnersee. Independent kitesurfing is compulsory. For more information: www.kite-addicted.ch

It is your responsibility to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!

Wind

Heads up: this is a partly thermal spot: on sunny days a thermal adds to the wind, so it's usually stronger than the averages below show. The windy days include part of our modelled thermal days, as some of them turn a light day into a windy one or even bring sufficient wind. The average wind speeds don't include the thermal.

Kitesurf Vacation

Snowkite course in Engadin (Silvaplana or Bernina), Switzerland

St Moritz •

Switzerland

1 hr - full day • Available all year • by Sports Paradise

Snowkiting is easy to learn, you just need the basics of skiing or snowboarding. If you are a kitesurfer already, add a twist to your favorite sport which you can use to explore the mountains in winter, away from crowded ski slopes! Around mid-January the Silvaplana Lake freezes solid and transforms into a snowkite heaven – it’s viewed as one of the world’s most prominent snowkite spots.
