The Tiroler Oberland Camp is new to the program in 2025. With our base in the front Ötztal, our camp spot is ideally located to reach rivers such as the Sanna, Rosanna, all kayak routes of the Venter and Ötztaler Ache and many more with a short journey. The Tiroler Oberland Camp can also be ideally combined with participation in the Engadin Kayak Camp.

At this camp we offer an F2, Creek 1 and a Creek 2 Course . Please click on one of the courses below to find out more details about the respective content and requirements.

Your way to WW IV!

Ride your line with ease and a dry spraydeck! At class IV whitewater you can only hit your line if you work with the flow. That's why at Creek 1 Course we look closely at the flow and use it. We analyze the currents and define exactly which weight shift and which pull on the paddle are necessary to precisely ride your chosen line. At the same time, you will learn how to boof and control steps and rollers.

Safety is of course also an important topic in this course. But don't worry - we won't be standing around pointlessly on the bank with the throw bag at every spot. Rather, we will consider what kind of safety device makes sense where and why, and then implement it as quickly as possible. After all, we want to paddle!
