Guided tour - Österdalälven Idre
Suitable for those who have previously completed a foundation course!
Guiding - Having run certain rivers countless times, we know what obstacles occur at different water levels, where the best place to put in and take out is, different lines in the rapids and where the best surf waves are. We take care of organization and safety so you can focus on having your best day on the river!
Class 1-2. A nice beginner/warm-up river of 4.5 km. At high tide, the river gets a “big river” feel with high speed on the water and large, long wave trains. At low tide, it's a perfect stretch to practice technique, with many eddies and several smaller surf waves.

About Forsverket
Forsverket offers courses and guiding in whitewater kayaking. We train according to the Swedish Canoe Association's Paddelpasset training system. We also have permission from the Swedish Transport Agency to train rafting guides.
During the summer holidays we are on rivers in Idre and the surrounding area. Norra Dalarna invites you to whitewater kayaking in fantastic mountain environments! There are several rivers here for whitewater paddlers regardless of skill. The rest of the year we are at Säveån in Floda just outside Gothenburg. Säveån flows through a nature reserve but is an incredibly accessible river. It's a perfect place to practice paddling technique and an oasis with a wilderness feel - just a stone's throw away from Gothenburg!
Paddling in moving water is special. You are in a dynamic environment where one day is not the same as the next. Everything is in constant motion. Regardless of how many times you have paddled a river, each time feels like a new adventure! Our goal is for as many people as possible to experience this highly addictive activity. We adapt to the individual so that all participants have the opportunity to develop at their own pace according to their own conditions. We want to create a safe environment where you feel comfortable taking the step into the world of whitewater.
