Beginners Course

Our Beginners Course is the perfect introduction to the sport of kayaking. We start the first day getting our confidence, learning the basics. Once we have mastered the basics we head off onto moving water.

 
We had a great kayaking Beginner course! Not only we learned a LOT from Ute during the course, we also had an awesome time paddling down these beautiful rivers in Arlberg. The beer tasted great after a day of paddling!

Beginners Booster Course

Our Beginners Booster is the perfect way to rekindle that adventure spirit and get back in the flow on one of our stunning rivers around Base Arlberg. This is not a complete repeat of our Beginners Course but more focused on the fact that you have had some experience in a whitewater kayak but lack the technique and kilometers for our Improvers Class 2-3 Course.

Do you already have some experience of whitewater kayaking and do you now want to feel more confident on class 2-3 whitewater? Our Improvers Course II - III is the perfect way to make that happen!

 
I really really would like to thank Steve and Ute for the excellent time I had. Steve knew where to push me and where to let go. I enjoyed while progressing to become a competent kayaker. HUGE thanks!! See you on the river.

Our Skills & Thrills class III - IV course gives you the confidence to run different styles of white-water, be it: big volume, technical, continuous rapids or getting used to the Alpine style of river running.

 
Steve and Ute of Kayak School Arlberg deliver world class and truly personalised whitewater kayak coaching, which I have been fortunate enough to experience over the last few years.

Alpine River Running IV - V Course

Our Alpine River Running Class IV - V course makes an advanced kayaker into a complete kayaker. So whether it is big volume, technical, continuous rapids, pulling some moves down the river or heading into a gorge, we will improve your understanding, approach and technique.

 
I have taken course with Steve for a few years on his home rivers. Every course I pushed my level higher than I expected. Eventually, I was kayaking rivers that I never imagined I would. Having Steve as a coach got me to the next level and more.

Creeking Course

Austria has some of the best creeking around! Coupled with one of the longest seasons in the Alps, it is a fantastic destination set in some dramatic mountain scenery. Kayaking a variety of steeper whitewater where you can perfect your technique and also challenge yourself to nail that line is just what our Creeking Course is all about. The perfect course for the Class 4 and upwards kayaker!
