THE BEST SAILING SPOTS

SPOTS FOR BEGINNERS

  • Thonon-les-Bains: This town offers sheltered beaches, perfect for beginners. The calm, shallow waters are ideal for a safe introduction to wingfoil.
  • Évian-les-Bains: With its beautiful beaches and moderate wind conditions, Évian is a welcoming spot for novices who want to learn and progress.
  • Plage de la Beunaz (Saint-Gingolph): This quiet beach offers a safe environment with shallow waters, making it an excellent choice for beginners.
  • Lac de Brenaz (Chens-sur-Léman): This small, little-frequented secondary lake is perfect for novices. Conditions are calm and ideal for learning.
  • Plage d’Yvoire: With its shallow waters and peaceful atmosphere, Yvoire is a perfect spot for those new to wingfoil.

SPOTS FOR EXPERTS

  • Plage de la Buvette (Thonon): Experts will appreciate this spot for its more sustained wind conditions and waves, offering interesting challenges to perfect their maneuvers.
  • Plage des Cygnes (Évian): This spot is popular with experienced riders, with stronger winds and waves to exploit, ideal for advanced tricks.
  • Lac de la Gruyère (nearby): Although slightly remote, this lake offers varied conditions for experts, with sections where the wind is often steady.
  • Plage de La Chapelle (Saint-Gingolph): Less frequented by beginners, this beach is ideal for experts looking to sail in more demanding conditions.
  • Plage de Yvoire: On windy days, this spot becomes a real playground for seasoned riders, with waves and challenges to overcome.

It’s important to note that conditions can vary depending on the season and wind direction. Lake Geneva generally benefits from two main winds: the Bise, a north-easterly wind, and the Vent, a south-westerly wind. These winds offer varied conditions for wingfoiling.
