Wing foil spot in La Chapelle-du-Mont-du-Chat – Lac du Bourget

Lac du Bourget is an inland body of water in La Chapelle-du-Mont-du-Chat (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France). No swell and no tide: the water is usually flat, great for learning to wing foil, practising transitions, pump foiling or foil drive. On a lake the wind is often gustier than at sea (terrain, thermals): watch the gusts as much as the average speed.

Possible activities: wing foil, kite foil and windfoil in steady wind; pump foil, foil drive and parawing in light wind.

A webcam is available for this spot in the app.

In the TheFoilBuddy app, the Lac du Bourget page shows live wind (speed, gusts, direction), a comparison of weather models, reports from riders on site and the spot channel. You can also record your sessions with GPS (distance, speed, time on foil, jumps) and get an alert when the wind picks up.
