Lac de Neuchâtel

The spot only works with the bise, a wind from North to Northeast that often blows regularly and thermally over Lake Neuchâtel. It is an onshore to light onshore wind relative to the south-facing beach, which facilitates take-offs from the large sandy area but requires attention for landings in case of gusts.

Entry into the water is directly from Pins beach, with a gradual entry without obstacles. The navigation area is wide and spacious on the bay of Yvonand, ideal for maneuvers and jumps, but you must stay clear of the reeds lining the sides. No significant lake tide, so the water surface remains constant: flat water to light chop depending on wind strength.

In strong bise, the spot can become very busy, especially on weekends, with up to hundreds of kites in high season, which requires careful navigation and respect for zones. For beginners, the shallow depth allows for safe proximity to the shore.
