The Ötztal Kajakfestival venue on the Ötztaler Ache

A world championship's new home on the web.

The OETZ TROPHY is the Sprint Extreme Kayak World Championships — four days of whitewater racing on the Ötztaler Ache in Tirol, running since 2019. For 2026 the event got a new format, and with it a complete new website from FlowSt8.
