I tried the spot of Silvaplana (Engadine, Switzerland) in August 2011, and many more times after that. Lake Silvaplana, as well the nearby Lake Sils, during the summer months, allow you to enjoy very pleasant windsurfing sessions, at high altitude, on flat water, in a truly exciting setting. The spots are suitable for different disciplines: freeriding, freestyle, slalom, and foil.
Windsurf spot reviews: Silvaplana and Sils (Engadin, Switzerland)
The main spot on Lake Silvaplana is located at the Silvaplana Windsurfcenter, at the northern end of the lake, where I went out most frequently.
Generally, you start your session from a pebble beach facing south, immediately at the beginning of Silvaplana (check for "Mulets" in the Google maps image, at the bottom of this page). Some go out from the slide of the windsurf center, inside the small harbour.
Waterwind, for us, is not free. It costs time and money. For this reason, the full preview of this article is reserved for Waterwind.it Supporters, who contribute to keeping it alive, and making it more beautiful! To become a Supporter, click here.
Obviously, Engadin also offers much more, in addition to the possibility of practicing water sports (on this website, you will find many articles related to trekkings, in the area). Therefore, by spending a few days of vacation here, you can spend time windsurfing, but also doing mountain walks and bike tours, or just relaxing.
Ultimately, I highly recommend you try Engadin for windsurfing, especially on the hottest days of summer!
Enjoy! Fabio
