About this spot
Lac de Monteynard is the second windiest lake in Europe, with a strong thermal NW wind blowing reliably on two out of every three days at an average of 15 knots. Nestled in the Isère gorge south of Grenoble, the terrain creates a powerful funnelling effect that makes conditions exhilarating — and demanding.
