Formula Wing youth worlds set for Silvaplana in June 2026
Silvaplana’s youth wingfoil worlds already has 75 of 120 spots filled, and it will sit between the senior World Cup and Kids Day in a packed June ladder.
Silvaplana’s next wingfoil title fight already has momentum: 75 riders had registered for the Formula Wing Youth World Championships, leaving 45 places in a 120-athlete quota as Lake Silvaplana prepares for the June 21-26 championship window. The event drops into a packed Engadinwind schedule that starts with the Wingfoil Racing World Cup Switzerland from June 16-20 and a Wingfoil Kids Day on June 21, making the Swiss resort one of the busiest foiling hubs on the 2026 calendar.
The logistics are already clear. Entry is priced at 250 EUR, with a 50 EUR late fee kicking in from June 11. Youth worlds registration is set for Monday, June 22, when equipment check begins at 11:00 and the first possible start is scheduled for 12:00. The medal races for both the youth and open masters worlds are set for Friday, June 26, with prizegiving at 18:00 and a world championship party to follow.
That structure matters because Silvaplana is building a clean progression ladder inside the same venue. The Wingfoil Racing World Cup Switzerland carries 10,000 EUR in prize money and World Ranking Points Grade 3, then the Formula Wing Youth World Championships and Wingfoil Open Masters World Championships take over from June 22-26. For younger riders, that means the chance to race in the same place, on the same stretch of water, immediately after the senior fleet has shown what top-end Formula Wing looks like.
The location has earned that role. The event takes place on Lake Silvaplana in the Engadin region, near St. Moritz in Grisons, a high-altitude Swiss setting that has become a repeat stop for major foiling championships. The archive already shows the 2023 WingFoil Racing World Cup Silvaplana, the 2024 Formula Wing European Championships and the 2024 Silvaplana U23 World Championships. Results from those events underline the scale the venue can handle, with 14 entries and eight races sailed in the 2024 European men’s fleet and 24 entries plus 20 races sailed in the 2025 Switzerland World Cup men’s fleet.
That is why this youth championship reads as more than a standalone title race. Silvaplana keeps attracting the class’s biggest weeks because it combines a proven racing venue, a dense event calendar and a clear path from kids programming to youth worlds to the senior circuit. For Formula Wing, that is how a development system starts to look established.
