The SUP Safari Salzkammergut 2026 invites paddlers to experience one of Europe’s most breathtaking alpine regions from the water, combining guided stand up paddling, premium accommodation, regional cuisine, and an immersive connection to nature.

Taking place from June 25–28, 2026, the four-day safari leads participants across four of the Salzkammergut’s most beautiful lakes, carefully selected each day based on weather and wind conditions to ensure optimal and safe paddling experiences. Set in the heart of Salzkammergut, the event offers a rare opportunity to explore Austria’s crystal-clear waters while enjoying a relaxed, community-focused atmosphere.

A Thoughtfully Curated Paddle Experience

Designed for paddlers with basic SUP experience, the SUP Safari emphasizes enjoyment over competition. Participants paddle together in a small group, guided by experienced SUP professionals who provide individual support, technique refinement, and optional sportier segments for those seeking an added challenge.

Each day unfolds on a different lake, allowing paddlers to experience the region’s diverse alpine landscapes—from turquoise open water to dramatic mountain backdrops—while maintaining flexibility and safety through dynamic route planning.

What’s Included in the SUP Safari Salzkammergut 2026

The all-inclusive nature of the safari ensures a seamless experience, with highlights including:
