Day Trip by Canoe

Traveling along the Alta River by canoe is the ideal way to connect with nature. The sights both close up and far away provide a spectacular backdrop to a fun ride.

Paddling in a canoe involves good nature-based experiences and mastery, as well as cooperation and good parners. As you can`t paddle a canoe alone, one of the joys of canoeing is the shared experience – laughing together, having fun and talking and paddling at the same time.

When it comes to the actual paddling, the Alta River has many calm sections, but you will also encounter occasional waves and rapids. Accidens may happen and the canoe may overturn. However, this is not dramatic because all paricipants have life jackets, and we have gone through how to act in the various situations that may arise. Its also something you can laugh about together aterwards around the fire while your socks re drying. In such cases, its wise to have an extra change of clothes. In the summer, the water temperature is milder (up to 16 C) and the water level is low so that the current is not too strong.
