Lake Attersee is a popular destination for water sports activities in Austria, and a new trend sport has also established itself there in recent years: wingfoiling. Wingfoiling combines elements of windsurfing, kitesurfing and stand-up paddle boarding and allows athletes to float on the water and perform breathtaking manoeuvres.
For beginners, there are various schools and hire centres around Lake Attersee that offer courses and equipment. These schools offer professional instruction and safety briefings to ensure that participants master the basics of wingfoiling and can practise the sport safely. The wide open water areas of Lake Attersee offer beginners plenty of space to practise and experiment.
