Kitesurfing, wing foiling and foiling in Romandy
In Romandy, the French-speaking west of Switzerland, the spots lie on Lake Neuchâtel, Lake Geneva and the Lac de Joux. The cantons of Neuchâtel, Fribourg and Vaud allow kiting on large parts of the lake, keeping clear of harbours, jetties and passenger boats, and along the shores lie federal bird reserves where kiting is banned. Kiting is only allowed from 08:00 to 21:00. Lake Neuchâtel and Lake Geneva are so large that Windulu treats them as open water: offshore wind is a no-go there.
