Wallersee is a small lake in Salzburg – Austria. Its best wind conditions are east and west winds. Depending on the wind direction there are several spots to get on the lake. However, in summer the lake has a lot of bathers. Since 2020 kite surfing is only allowed from October until April. It’s fair to say that the majority of sessions at Wallersee are short and gusty. Gaining hight is a prerequisite to have a safe and enjoyable experience.
Kite Spot: Strandbad Seekirchen
Spot description
In the public bathing area there is enough space to set up the equipment, start and land the kite. (Watch out for lanterns). Due to the often changing wind strengths it is quite handy to start from the peer to get some safety distance to the shore in case riding upwind is tougher than expected.
On the peers nearby sometimes fishers are trying their best to earn their dinner. Keep safety distance and respect each kind of water sport.
Arrival
From the highway A1 the closest exit is 281 Eugendorf / Wallersee. From there the road leads through Eugendorf to Seekirchen and to the parking lot of the public swimming place. Usually enough obliged to pay parking lots are available.
From there during off-season no entrance needs to be payed to get to the lake.

Kite Spot: Strandbad Neumarkt
Spot description
Strandbad Neumarkt is a public swimming area on the east side of Wallersee. Its on the opposite site of Seekirchen and works best with wind from the west. it has a enough clearance to the surrounding trees to perform a safe starting and landing. Again the peer can be used to get initial meters upwind and therefore more space for kite movements
Due to the C-shaped shore the first lengths are limited be the land. After getting upwind it is easier to enjoy the session freely
Arrival
At Strandbad Neumarkt it is free to park. After that the lake is within a few minutes of walking.
