Overview

Around Neuchâtel, you are on the large Lake Neuchâtel, a very popular body of water in Romandy with several well-known access points for kiteboarding. The bise winds often return in local returns and can offer good sessions, but the area requires careful monitoring of navigation rules and protected sectors, especially around the Grande Cariçaie. The water can be quite varied depending on the wind direction, with some edges sometimes easy for rigging and launching, and other passages more technical when the wind picks up. It’s a sector appreciated by riders already comfortable on the water, although some spots on the lake remain more accessible depending on exposure. Nearby, St-Blaise, Portalban, Yvonand, or Estavayer often come up as landmarks for navigating the region.
