Ägerisee - Naas kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot

Overview

Nestled in a pre-alpine setting between Unterägeri and Oberägeri, Lake Ägerisee offers an exceptional natural environment for water sports. This lake in the Canton of Zug, less crowded than its bigger brother Zugersee, appeals with its peaceful atmosphere and interesting wind conditions.

In thermal conditions, expect consistent 2-3 Beaufort winds from midday onwards. But it's during westerly fronts, northerly winds or foehn conditions that the spot reveals its true potential: wind can pick up significantly, generating considerable swell on this 5.5 km long lake.

Warning: This spot is reserved for experienced riders. The launch area is technical, partially sheltered with several trees nearby. Wind is often gusty and can vary suddenly in intensity.
