Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE MOMENT

Sonnenuntergang mitten auf dem Ammersee

A distinctly local highlight is practicing as the light softens over the water — a sunset on the Ammersee that the operator flags as an absolute highlight, weather permitting.

THE LAUNCH

Only metres from the beach

Boards are issued and courses run just a few metres from the shore, so the transition from sand to water is short and immediate — ideal for learning balance and basic strokes close to land.

THE GUIDELINES

Clear safety rules and environmental respect

The program follows a concise code: bring a positive attitude, be able to swim, attach the leash, observe life‑jacket rules, return to the station if a storm warning appears and follow instructor directions while leaving no trace.

What the day feels like

What the session feels like

Expect an approachable, instructional flow: a brief beachside setup, mounting boards a few metres off the shore, practice of fundamental paddling techniques and balance work, and moments of stillness where simple yoga poses are adapted to the board and the lake’s gentle motion.
