Overview

Lake Davos (Davosersee) is a small alpine lake at 1575 m altitude in the famous resort town of Davos, Graubünden. The lake benefits from regular thermal winds in summer, with a valley wind blowing from the northeast in the afternoon. The surface is relatively small but sufficient for kitesurfing and wingfoiling. The water is cold and the mountain setting is beautiful. The spot is easily accessible from the center of Davos.
