Silvaplana Snowkite is the snowkite spot on the frozen Silvaplana lake in the Upper Engadine at 1790 m altitude. In winter, when the lake is sufficiently frozen, it becomes an exceptional snowkite playground. The Maloja wind blows from the south-west through the Maloja Pass and provides regular conditions. The alpine setting is spectacular with views of Piz Corvatsch and the Engadine peaks.
The season runs from November to April, peaking in January: 9 rideable days a month and 97 hours of usable wind, at 2 °C. The low point is June, at 0 days.
