A Summer in Austria - part 2...


Here is the second part of our Summer in Austria....
It has been an extremely busy time with all sorts of courses running and of course in the height of the Austrian summer the Alps are just stunning!

Whether it is from our beginners courses up on a quiet mountain lake and the River Lech..




...through to our Improver Class II Courses on the Inn and also on the Lech we have certainly enjoyed some great days out!




We had a couple of days of rain and of course this helped to push up the levels 




The River Inn got BIG and just showed why it is a favourite of ours.
Kayaking some big and bouncy wave trains just keeps everyone smiling for days!!


After the rain came the sunshine and we managed to get a few more days out of our home river - the Rosanna.  Kayaking through the village of St Anton am Arlberg.
It is such a classic Austria high alpine river..


Ute was certainly enjoying the long Summer days of eat, sleep, kayak and repeat!!


The gem of the Sanna was also keeping everyone entertained, it is the shortest river in the Alps but within those 7km there is some sweet whitewater..



The Sanna is a firm favourite of anyone who has visited this part of Austria...



And of course the Oetz was pumping water down the valley.  The Lower Oetz was at its highest and was a great way to cool off on a hot summers day!


With our advanced kayakers getting to test not only their skills but nerves on the pushy water of the Oetz!!


It was our best Summer to date and we have really been making the most of just what this part of the Austrian Alps has to offer.
This was just one of the reasons I decided to stay here and make it my home!

For details of all our trips from the Spring, through the Summer, into Autumn in Austria and also our Adventure trips to the Himalayas, Peru and Chile just check out our website.
Our dates for 2017 are online....
