Local association recommendations

Beach closed to kitesurfing, decision of June 28, 2022 by the municipality of Hermance.
The municipality bases its decision on the fact that all Geneva shores of Lake Geneva are in Oroem zone level 3 and that kitesurfing is prohibited by default.
This is a battle that the Wag and the Kitesurfer Association have been fighting for several years to change this law, which we consider discriminatory and poorly adapted to the actual situation.

Spot functioning

Launch the kite towards the open water and move away from the shore by body dragging to exit the swimming area.
