Salza

About the Salza

The Salza is a proper Austrian classic. It just keeps going, rapid after rapid, winding through forest with barely a flat section in sight. The Grade II-III water is relentless enough to build real stamina, and the occasional III+ section keeps you honest. If your ferry glide or eddy catch is sloppy, the Salza will let you know. That's exactly what makes it such a good coaching river.

Highlights

• Continuous whitewater that builds proper river fitness
• Sustained Grade II-III with the odd III+ to keep things spicy
• Runs through thick alpine forest the whole way
• Paddleable from March right through to November
• Great for drilling ferry glides and eddy turns
