Canoe tours in the 360° Alps
Canoeing & river tours
in the most beautiful waters of Upper Austria
On the Enns and Steyr rivers, the 360° Alpine landscape shows its moving side. In a canoe, you are directly connected to the water - manoeuvrable, fast and alert. The narrow design allows you to steer precisely through waves and rollers, but requires concentration and good teamwork in the boat.
Travelling in pairs, you feel every current directly. Every paddle stroke counts, every decision has an effect. This is exactly what makes this form of white water rafting so intense. You will be accompanied by experienced guides in a kayak or raft, who set the line and keep an eye on safety. If you lose your balance, they are quickly on hand.
The trip on the whitewater rivers in the heart of Upper Austria becomes a conscious game with the power of the water - between nature experience, team spirit and clear focus.

Interesting facts about the canoe tours:
Canoe tours lead mainly along the Steyr and Enns - two rivers that characterise the landscape of Upper Austria. Between Großraming, the Kalkalpen National Park and the town of Steyr, there are a variety of stretches to choose from: calmly gliding through floodplains or with more lively passages for experienced paddlers.
The season generally runs from spring to autumn. The months of May to September are particularly pleasant, when stable water levels and mild temperatures accompany the paddling.
It is worth checking the water level and weather forecast before every trip. The current can be stronger after heavy rainfall. You should not set off if there is a thunderstorm warning.
Basic knowledge is helpful, but not essential. Many providers in the 360° Alpine region provide an introduction to paddling technique and safety. Swimming skills are a prerequisite.
Yes, regional guides accompany groups on selected stretches along the Steyr or Enns. They know the currents, entry and exit points and impart interesting facts about the natural environment and history.
