Welcome to your guide for stand-up paddling (SUP) tours in Austria! Here you can find out all about the best places to go SUP boarding on calm waters or even sporty waves. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, the country offers a variety of options for an unforgettable SUP experience.

Where can you SUP in Austria?

Consider yourself lucky, because Austria is rich in lakes and rivers that are perfect for relaxed or challenging SUP tours. Lake Neusiedl in Burgenland, for example, offers ideal conditions with its shallow water and picturesque surroundings. Lake Wörthersee in Carinthia also attracts visitors with its clear water and beautiful natural scenery. In Tyrol, you will find Lake Achensee, where you can paddle between majestic mountains.

The special features of stand-up paddling

Stand-up paddling combines relaxation with sportiness - you stand on the board in the middle of the water and move around using a paddle. Keeping your balance requires concentration and strength, but at the same time you can enjoy the calmness of the water around you. It's a great way to experience nature from a new perspective.

SUP rental in Austria

If you don't have your own board or spontaneously feel like trying out stand-up paddling, there are numerous rental shops along Austria's waterways. You are sure to find one at Lake Millstätter See in Carinthia or Lake Mondsee in the Salzkammergut. The rental companies often also offer courses to teach you how to paddle properly and ensure safety on the water.

Discover tourist attractions while SUPing

A great option on a SUP tour is not only to enjoy the paddling itself, but also to marvel at tourist attractions from the water. On Lake Altaussee, for example, you can admire the magnificent Trautenfels Castle, while the idyllic village of Hallstatt stretches out in front of you on Lake Hallstatt.
