Beginners Course Level 2
In Beginners Course Level 2, the basics are applied and practiced on a river with a second level of difficulty. After a theoretical review of the techniques you have learned in Beginners Course , we step on the gas! Rope ferries until you are gliding easily over the current; eddies until your boat goes in as if on rails. The Beginners Course Level 2 offers you a preview of our Advanced 1 Course and prepares you ideally for it. The aim of the course is to consolidate the basics and gain experience on the river. Even if you haven't attended Beginners Course with us but already have a few days of river experience, this is the right course for you.
The advanced courses take place in Tyrol, Corsica and Slovenia. The course content and schedule will vary depending on the course location and duration. Please choose one of our advanced courses for detailed information.
