The invention relates to a method for landing a kite system (23). The kite system (23) comprises a kite (14) and a gondola (25), and the kite (14) is held on the gondola (25) via a line tree (24). The gondola (25) is held on an attachment point (16, 44) which is installed in the ground via a towing rope (15) during a normal operation of the kite system (23). A sail surface of the kite (14) is stretched by a first sub-kite (40) and a second sub-kite (41). A connection (36) lying within the sail surface between the first sub-kite (40) and the second sub-kite (41) is separated such that the kite (41) transitions into another aerodynamic state and descends to the ground together with the gondola (25). The invention also relates to a kite system.
