Engadin– The Garden of the river Inn
The Inn River flows through the Engadin region and offers many fantastic sections, making it ideal for spending much of the trip in this area. The "Garden of the Inn" is a perfect practice ground, with easier stretches upstream and more challenging ones downstream. With an ideal campsite nearby, it's easy to fall in love with this area.
Enjoy the beautiful villages along the Inn River.
Here is Guarda, one of the many picturesque villages near the Inn River. It’s perfect for an evening stroll through the streets after a fantastic day on the river, searching for the best ice cream.
Flüelapass
Between the Vorderrhein and the Inn lies the 2,384-meter-high Flüela Pass. On your way to the Inn, you can see the Susasca River and the glacier that feeds it. This breathtaking picnic spot offers a spectacular mountain backdrop as you journey toward the Engadin.
The Plan
- After meeting at the campsite or picking you up from the airport, we’ll enjoy lunch together before heading out to the Rhein Gorge. Depending on the group and water levels, this could also be a section further upstream. Dinner will be provided by Arkadventures on the grill!
- Today, we’re paddling my favorite Section, on the Glenner. We’ll be spending the entire day here. And with the option to paddle the lower Valser Rhein into the Glenner, this is something you definitely don’t want to miss!
- In the morning, we’ll paddle on the Hinterrhein or explore various sections upstream, depending on water levels. After spending the last two nights at the campsite, there’s an option for an overnight tour along the beaches of the Rhein Gorge. It’s especially beautiful under the stars with a campfire. We’ll paddle to a beach with just our sleeping bags, mats, and some cooking gear, where we can enjoy the night after a day on the water.
- Today we make our way to Engadine. On the way we paddle a grade 4 river and later in the day arrive at the camping .
- We drive straight to the gorge section of the Inn, this is the most beauitful spot on the Inn with grade 4 whitewater. Here we practise our skills on various rapids.
- In the next two days we will be kayaking on upper sections of the Inn. At the end of the day we will paddle the section next to camping where we will then finish¨
- End of the trip: For those that need to be taken to the airport they will be accompanied by Arkadventures.
