Kite locations in Switzerland

Christiane · 20. Juni 2006

Gday,
I have just arrived in Switzerland on holiday for a while. And am currently looking for a place to go kiting close to PfÃ¤ffikon SZ where I am living. I heard you can kite on the Zugersee, but can not find very much information about kiting there.

For example:
Kite sizes used in this region
Exact kite location and how to get there
Local rules to kiting on the Zugersee
Also looking for others to go kiting with in this area

Any help would be great, and sorry I don`t speak any german yet, only english.

I can be also contacted via my Swiss notel number +41 786 774 572

Hi

on http://www.spotguide.ch are some informations but only in german and not very much yet. On the zugersee is 1 entrance it is called BrÃ¼ggli and you can see it on the plan if you go to spotguide. But there isn't very much good wind. But i could't say very much send tuxli a private message.

There is also the Walensee near you. You can ask the people from shirocco this is a watersport school there. "schule@shirocco.ch"[/email]

nice day

Hi Astro

As Gigi already said, there isn't much of a chance to get wind around lake Zug. If you got time, a short trip to Silvaplana (about 2 hours ride from PfÃ¤ffikon) is always nice. It's a termical wind there, so the chance to get you surfing is much better...

you'll find some wind-infos here: http://www.nzz.ch/wetter/windprognosen.html

Lake Silvaplana = Engadinerseen

if progs are SW 3-4 or SW 2-4 it should be quite ok

Have fun, spoelito

Hi,

this is actually very interesting - what kite-size (for what weight) does "quite ok" translate to?

Regards
Pete
