The first Wavegarden Cove in Europe is almost complete. In January 2021, Alaia Bay in Sion, Switzerland will start to fill its 8,500 sq. mt. Wavegarden Cove surfing lagoon.
Construction of Alaia Bay surfing lagoon began in November 2019. The filling part of the project started in December 2020. Tests of the wave generating machinery will start in January 2020.
In March next year, the park will welcome its first surfers, who will test the surf lagoon.
Adam Bonvin, founder of Alaia Bay surfing lagoon, said: “Our teams have put a lot of enthusiasm into this project and we are thrilled to be able to keep the schedule as planned. Despite the public health situation, which required the introduction of certain restrictions, there has been very little disruption to the construction and we can now reveal the dates for the next stages of the project.”
As well as being home to the first Wavegarden Cove in Europe, Alaia Bay will feature a surf school, restaurant and retail space.
