Join Time Out and TUI Lakes & Mountains for a paddleboarding class inspired by Austria’s pristine Lake Zell 

What is it?

Imagine, for a moment, that you’ve been transported to the Austrian Alps. Breathe in that fresh alpine air; savour the sweet smell of pine; admire the blue water of a nearby lake, gently rippling. Of course you want to be there. And hey, us too – but the next best thing? Lakes & Mountains Summer Sessions, presented by Time Out and TUI Lakes & Mountains. 

This summer, we’ll bring you a series of events designed to bring the best of Europe’s lakes and mountains to London. We’re kicking things off with a paddleboarding class at St Katherine Docks – and you’re going to want to book ASAP to avoid missing out. This session is inspired by Austria’s breathtaking Lake Zell. It’s just one of the many incredible places you can visit on a TUI Lakes & Mountains holiday, with a hand-picked boutique hotel as your base for invigorating hikes, beautiful boat rides, cultural exploration and of course, lakeside relaxation. 

When is it?

Saturday August 12. Choose between sessions at 1.30pm, 3.30pm, 5.30pm and 7.15pm. Sessions are approximately 75 minutes. 

Why buy?

Run by Paddleboarding London, these sessions are suitable for all levels, so it’s fine if you’re an absolute beginner. The water in this marina is super tranquil, leaving you free to calmly explore the three basins at your own pace. Your views might be a little different to those you'd find in the Austrian Alps, but they're still pretty amazing, with iconic London landmarks such as Tower Bridge and The Tower of London overhead.
