Stand-up paddling Zell am See
Paddling on Lake Zell
When the temperatures reach the 30 °C mark, one has the desire to engage in sports with the possibility to cool down at any time. The most popular method to do sport on a hot summer day is SUP (Stand UP Paddling) and there is no better place than Lake Zell, one of the most beautiful lakes in the Salzburger Land, to try SUP. Not only do you get a whole-body workout, but you will also explore the beautiful landscape at the same time and can take a break anytime and anywhere wth stand-up paddling in Zell am See. Apart from an inflatable surfboard, a paddle and a little balance, nothing else is needed for stand-up paddling – making it the ideal sport to try out on vacation.
To give this trendy sport a try, we provide our guests with 2 brand new SUP that are available to reserve free of charge. You can book them directly through our homepage www.ferienwohnungen-zellamsee.eu or www.we-rent-apartments.com.
Otherwise, the price is € 25,00 per SUP/day (€ 15,00 for half a day).
The SUP’s are located in our Villa Julia and must be transported independently to the lake (50 meters).

Stand up paddling on Lake Zell is a real pleasure! You can “paddle” the entire lake and enjoy the fantastic panorama. The best thing is that the lake is well protected from the wind by the surrounding mountain landscape, so you rarely have to deal with choppy water.
