Overview
In the heart of central Switzerland, Lucerne offers a very unique setting for kiteboarding, between alpine lake and mountains, with a more contemplative than maritime atmosphere. The conditions are those of a lake spot: variable winds, often with thermal breezes or local effects, and water generally smoother than the ocean, although the water surface can quickly become choppy depending on the wind. The area is known to be accessible for learning and progression, with local schools and a rather supervised practice. The best window is usually from spring to autumn, when temperatures are more pleasant and winds more consistent. It’s a good choice for riders looking for a session in an alpine environment, with several swimming and launch points around Lake Lucerne.
