Experience a wonderful day on the reservoir in Gerlos. Located on the lake is Austria's highest-lying boat rental, which has been run by Hannes Hauser for over 40 years. In the summer months, the spring-fresh water warms up to a pleasant 21° and makes Gerlos a true summer highlight for your family vacation in the Zillertal.
There is something for everyone: pedal boat rides, kayaking, stand-up paddling (SUP), or simply relaxing while splashing around and swimming. Enjoy the sun and nature on the shore of the lake on Kalle's dock with sunbathing area. This is the perfect place for an unforgettable vacation!

Stand-up paddling on the Gerlossee
You don't need much for stand-up paddling (SUP). All you need is suitable water, a board, a paddle and you can get started! SUP is perfect fitness training for the whole body. For an upright posture and balancing on the board, you will use the muscles from the ankle to the neck. This will also involve the tightening of the abdominal muscles. The legs and deep muscles in the torso will get a good workout from the constant balancing. In addition, the SUP board is excellently suited for a short time-out: simply lay on top and enjoy the sun and nature. Or how about trying out a few yoga poses on the board?
