La Savonnière kitesurf spot
Switzerland · Genève
Overview
La Savonnière beach is a huge grassy beach shaded by numerous trees.
During the summer period, the parking and access to the beach is paid and the beach is very heavily frequented by swimmers. Therefore, it is absolutely forbidden to navigate during this period. Off-season, however, it's a nice spot for the 'bise' wind, located directly across from Versoix.
