Stand Up paddling

Guests will need to have SUP experience in order to enjoy the week of paddling and to allow the group to travel at practical pace. The first day is a 20Km paddle with daypacks on the boards.

An average and healthy individual that engages in some form of regular exercise should have no problems. Please be realistic in assessing your fitness & ability.

The conditions are mostly calm and stable for the summer but we can occasionally run into some wind and a bit of chop, especially at the beginning and end of the season.

We ask that when you arrive for your expedition you:

  • Have a good solid paddle technique.
  • Are confident in your ability to paddle 15-20 Km (standing up).
  • Can control an SUP effectively in varying weather conditions and perform self-rescue.*
  • Are able to effectively Knee-paddle (not sitting) against a headwind.
  • Can swim 100 meters in open water.

* This means being able to handle choppy conditions, right a capsized loaded SUP, get back onboard, retrieve your paddle and continue paddling without assistance.

Via Ferrata

The climb of Loen via ferrata on Mt hoven scales 1000 meters and takes 6 Hours. Although the climb is technically easy and safe. There are a couple of sections where you are on a vertical rock face with a view 700 meters down. Please be confident of your ability to handle dramatic heights.

There is an alternative wonderful mountain top hike with a cable car lift up & down if you would rather forego the climb.

If you are uncertain of your suitability for the expedition, please contact Titus for advice.

Guests arriving with a physical or psycological condition or contraindicator that was not declared in their personal details form may be precluded from parcipitating in some or all of the expedition with no recourse for compensation.
