Water sports & surfing on Lake Wörthersee

The perfect day at Austria's most beautiful lake
Sun, turquoise water and temperatures of up to 27 °C - Lake Wörthersee offers the best conditions for water and board sports.

Action on the water
Whether wakeboarding, wakesurfing, pumpfoil, surfskate or wingfoil - Lake Wörthersee is a paradise for adrenaline junkies. The local water sports schools offer courses for beginners and advanced surfers. Particularly popular: foiling sports, where you glide across the water almost floating.

Pumpfoil - Austria's first club on Lake Wörthersee
Just as in 1935 with water skiing, Lake Wörthersee is once again setting new standards: Austria's first Pumpfoil club is located here! With pump foiling, you move across the water without a motor by simply pumping the board - a unique feeling of weightlessness that combines fitness and technology.

Experience pure happiness - even without a board under your feet: parasailing & hooping
If you want to experience the lake from a bird's eye view, you should try parasailing - at a height of up to 100 meters, you get a new perspective on the different color facets of Lake Wörthersee. Tire or banana riding provides action right on the surface: Speed, splashing water and lots of fun guaranteed!
