Silvaplana

At 1,800 m in the Engadin valley, Lake Silvaplana is the birthplace of alpine kitesurfing and one of the most scenic spots anywhere. The thermal Maloja wind sweeps down the valley from the south-west almost every summer afternoon, hitting the lake with impressive reliability. The dedicated kite beach on the Silvaplana shore, glacier-fed turquoise water and 3,000 m peaks all around make it a bucket-list session — bring a wetsuit even in July.
