Wingfoiling in Lac de Serre-Ponçon
Lac de Serre-Ponçon is a large Alpine reservoir in the Hautes-Alpes with 300 sunny days a year and a reliable NW thermal wind channelled through the Savines–Embrun venturi. The flat reservoir water and predictable afternoon breeze make it a great destination for all levels, with dedicated schools for wing and kite.
