News
It is with great regret and deep sadness that we must inform you today that we received notification early this morning that the Ötztaler Ache has been closed to all whitewater activities, effective immediately, starting at river kilometer 35.00.
As many of you have already learned from the media, the authorities issued a boating ban yesterday for the Lower Ötztaler Ache.
No volunteers, no race: we're looking for helping hands for the OETZ TROPHY weekend, 17–20 September 2026 — registration, safety, first aid and media. Sign up now!
The OETZ TROPHY has a new website and a revamped event format. Registration for the races opens on June 17, 2026.
