The apartments are spacious and well equipped, sleeping up to eight people in three bedrooms – 2 twin rooms (which can be converted into doubles), a bunk room, and a double sofa bed in the main lounge area. Each apartment has a fully equipped kitchen, shower-room with WC and separate WC.

It's a short walk into town where there are shops, restaurants and bars.

 

Is It For Me?

This is suitable for paddlers who are comfortable paddling as part of a group on grade 2/3 rivers and want to improve their skills & push their abilities whilst under the watchful eye of expert coaches.

 

Getting There

Many people choose to drive and take their own boats and equipment but we can make things easier by supplying a boat for the trip or by taking your boat there for you. This allows you to fly over and hire a car in country.

Brexit transition

All European paddling courses in 2021 maybe subject to change or cancellation due to the ongoing brexit trade negotiations. Currently with no deal being signed, we are unsure about what permission may be needed or the format of working in Europe. As soon as this matter is resolved we will update this page. Please not all deposits will be refunded if work in Europe is not allowed, please contact us for further information.
