Ice sailing at lake Haidersee

Ice sailing on Lake Haider – a winter sport on runners with the Ortler as a backdrop
from center

In winter, when Lake Haider is frozen, its surface is used for ice sailing. With special boats mounted on runners, sailors make use of the wind to glide across the ice, often reaching considerable speeds.

The lake is located in St. Valentin auf der Haide, surrounded by the alpine landscape with the Ortler mountain in the background. Ice sailing is only possible when the ice is thick enough and officially released, and is mainly practiced by experienced sailors
