Kitesurfing, wing foiling and foiling in Central and Eastern Switzerland
In Central and Eastern Switzerland the kite spots lie on mountain lakes and lakes at the foot of the Alps: Silvaplana in the Engadine, Lake Uri, Lake Zug and Lake Ägeri, and Lake Walen. The cantons designate one or a few launch sites per lake, sometimes with a corridor to open water, and at Silvaplana and Isleten an association runs the launch. Kiting is only allowed from 08:00 to 21:00, and because the lakes are enclosed, Windulu warns about offshore wind instead of giving a no-go.
