Riding around the Three Lakes
The Bise runs the full length of Lake Neuchâtel and builds good swell, popular for winging and downwinding. The Joran, rarer and often violent, gusts down from the Jura: watch the forecast and stay careful. Lakes Biel and Murten offer calmer conditions.
Buying locally
- Filter by canton (NE, FR, JU) to see the gear before buying.
- Inflate a wing or kite on the spot.
- Pay through the platform; the money stays on hold until hand-over.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Joran dangerous?
It can rise very quickly and blow hard. Do not ride when it is forecast or when a storm threatens.
Is Lake Neuchâtel good for downwinding?
Yes, on Bise days its length and swell make it a popular playground. Always plan your finish point.
