About this spot

About

Blosenbergturm is a prominent snowkiting spot near Beromünster, centered on the iconic transmitter tower. The area consists of large agricultural fields around the tower, with mostly accessible, gentle terrain that suits cruising and learning when snow conditions are good. Wind at this launch is reported with best directions from N, NE, SW, W, and NW, and it’s commonly described as moderately reliable depending on whether Bise (NE) or West wind systems set up. Typical reported wind speeds fall in the 10–25 knots range, and riders should expect turbulence directly downwind of the radio tower. Safety is the key operational consideration here: the spot includes high-voltage power lines, fences, the radio tower itself, and agricultural equipment. Riders are advised to keep well clear of obstacles and power lines, avoid kiting in designated nature-protection areas, and avoid riding on fields if snow cover is too thin to protect crops. Parking should be kept to designated public areas—do not block agricultural paths or use private farm roads. Local travel readiness matters because this is a lower-altitude site (around 800m), so snow can change quickly. Check snow reports carefully before heading out; rain can reduce snow cover at this altitude, and weekends after fresh snowfall can draw local activity.
