About Silvaplana

Silvaplana sits in the Engadin valley in Switzerland, a flat-water paradise fed by consistent Föhn winds descending from the Alps. The wide sandy beach provides excellent launch conditions for beginners and intermediates, with calm bay waters protected from outside swell. The village is well-established on the European kitesurfing circuit, attracting schools and rental shops. Summer brings the strongest thermals, while spring and autumn see powerful cold-front Föhn conditions. The location's reliability and accessibility have made it a go-to training spot.
