Event Info:

The fourth tour stop of the Kitesurf Tour Europe will be the highest one.
The Location Lake Silvaplana is about 1.750m over sea level and has some
thrilling thermal effect such as the Maloja winds wich will empower the
rider. A spectacular landscape and the image of the close St. Moritz will be
the stage of the kitesurf tour Europe.
.

The Kite Spot Silvaplana is one of the unique kite spots in the World. You
can reach Silvaplana via Innsbruck (Austria), Zurich (Switzerland) or Milan
(Italy) within 2 hours of driving. The Corvatsch glacier will be always a

good place to visit permanent ice and snow even in the summer

There is no sandy beach, but from the launch/land side there is a big area

of grass the whole way down the lake (600m) and again 500m up on the other side where you normally arrive, if your kite drops and you are not able to relaunch again. So it's safe. There is one official entry but you can get in everywhere if you manage 30 cm of stones which are around at waterside. On the weekends it's normally a little bit crowded to get in. Sometimes youhave to wait one minute before launching you kite. Upward from the official kite launching zone there is no way to start your kite. Stefan`s SwissKitesurf at the Sportzentrum Mulets has all facilities you can imagine(www.kitesailing.ch) and a camping site is just away.
