About Discover Kitz
Discover Kitz operates the boat and paddleboard rental concession at Schwarzsee, Kitzbühel's iconic alpine lake and one of the warmest bathing lakes in the Tyrolean Alps. Situated right on the lakeshore, they provide the simplest way to get out on the water during the summer season, offering a fleet that ranges from traditional rowing boats to electric-powered vessels and premium SUP equipment.
Their rental catalogue includes electric boats, pedal boats, rowing boats, and stand-up paddleboards available by the half-hour or hour. Beyond casual hire, they also run professional SUP lessons, SUP yoga sessions on the calm lake surface, and SUP polo games for groups looking for something more active. The operation runs from May through October, weather permitting, with walk-up availability throughout the day.
What makes Discover Kitz a worthwhile stop is the setting — Schwarzsee sits in a protected nature reserve with the Hahnenkamm and Kitzbüheler Horn mountains as a dramatic backdrop, making even a simple half-hour paddle feel like a premium experience. For visitors who associate Kitzbühel exclusively with winter skiing, the summer lake activities offer a completely different side of the resort, and Discover Kitz is the only operator providing structured water activities at this location.
