[Europe] Kayak Meet-Up: June 19th to 22nd // South Tyrol
Dear Euro Kayakers & everyone visiting the Alps for summer:
We're happy to announce the 10 year edition of our exquisite whitewater kayaker meet-up!
Just like in the past years, the focus is on hitting great lines on the local creek runs, meeting new people, and partying hard.
After several meetings in Ötz valley, Wallis, east Tyrol, and Engadin, we've decided to follow the precipitation pattern, our explorative spirit and our thirst for good Espresso:
This year's meetup will take place in south Tyrol, hopefully with good flows sustained by the higher than normal snow pack in the south-eastern alps!
As usual, there will also be additional program surrounding the kayaking: in the past this has ranged from team races on class 4+ whitewater to rescue&river skill related challenges in random groups, plus our usual beer & cocktail bar.
Facts:
Date: June 19th to 22nd 2014
Location: South Tyrol, near Rienz, Hotel Giesser costs for camping 9.- / night / person
While still being an event mainly populated by paddlers from German-speaking countries, we've always had the pleasure of hosting groups of international guests & are looking forward to make this event as international as the paddling habits of everyone attending.
No registration required. Show up, paddle, party.
Note: we do not organize guided trips of any type - usually, groups form depending on skill level and daily objectives.
