Winter is normally not the best time for packrafting – the rivers are low on water and it’s quite cold compared to nice summertime trips.

Lake Inari (Finland) offers endless possibilities of exploring and discovering – which we used in 2012 for a couple of weeks. It is an amazing area in summer as well as in winter which shouldn’t be missed.
We did it again – because it is indeed a nice trip: hiking from Elm over the Segnapass down to the Vorderrhein and then packraft until the Hinterrhein meets the Vorderrhein and finally becomes the Rhein as we know it. Be aware that the Martinsloch is part of the UNESCO world heritage.
When we first packrafted the Lech River in 2013, it was clear that we will come back one day – in May 2018 we did.

Even in winter you can catch awesome sunny days with perfect rafting conditions – we caught one of those days a few weeks ago and spent a full day packrafting the icy Thur River.

The Glatt River in Switzerland is most probably one of the worst rivers I have rafted so far – it simply covers all aspects that packrafters don’t like normally: lot’s of civilization, many spots where you need to get out of the river and hardly any interesting parts.
