How to choose

Both tours run on the Lech river in Tyrol, launched by Nature Adventure from Bach, and both run 4h to 7h with no physical requirements. The 5 € gap between the two comes down to format: the 59 € option puts you in a classic group raft, while the 64 € canoraft excursion gives you a two-person inflatable canoe, meaning you control the boat directly. If you want a passive first hit of whitewater, go with the 59 € raft. If you want your hands on the paddle and full exposure to the Lech's current from the first stroke, the canoraft at 64 € delivers a sharper, more personal rush for 5 € more.

Frequently asked questions

How intense is rafting on the Lech compared to other rivers?
The Lech is one of the last wild, free-flowing alpine rivers in Central Europe. Its current is fast and its riverbed is largely unregulated, which means unpredictable channels and genuine whitewater sections. It hits harder than most beginner rivers.
What's the most intense moment of the trip?
Expect the sharpest rushes when the river narrows through rocky gorges and the current accelerates. On the canoraft, those moments are even more exposed since you're sitting lower and closer to the water than in a standard raft.
Do I need any rafting experience to book?
No. Both tours are listed as 'Everybody welcome', so zero prior experience is required. Your guide from Nature Adventure handles safety briefing and technique on-site before you hit the water.
What's the difference in sensation between the raft and the canoraft?
A standard raft absorbs some of the river's force through its size and group weight. The canoraft seats two and sits directly in the current, so every wave and surge hits you more directly. It's the same river, but a noticeably rawer experience.
When is the river at its most powerful?
The season runs May through September. Early season, May and June, snowmelt from the Allgäu Alps feeds the Lech at its highest volume and fastest flow. That's when the whitewater is most intense. July and August are more stable and accessible for all levels.
