Lake Walen in August – Why now might be the best time for stand-up paddling
There are places you simply must experience. Lake Walen is definitely one of them.
Nestled between steep cliffs and an impressive mountain backdrop, Lake Walen offers an atmosphere rarely found in Switzerland. On calm August mornings, the water is often mirror-smooth, the sun bathes the Churfirsten in warm light, and a pleasant tranquility reigns on the lake.
Many people think that the SUP season slowly comes to an end in August. Our experience is exactly the opposite.
Late summer is one of the most beautiful times for paddling. The water is pleasantly warm, the holiday rush slowly subsides, and the lake becomes much more relaxed. Those who go out early in the morning or in the evening often experience Lake Walen at its most beautiful.
Simply get on the water
If you already own a stand-up paddleboard, you will find various easy launching points at Lake Walen and can directly start a pleasant tour.
