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.
