Full description

Experience the thrill of canyoning on the River Sesia together with your family. The route is designed for children and young people and presents no particular difficulty.

You will combine swimming in the current with jumps and dives from the rocks to experience the adrenaline rush of a descent in water, surrounded by a wonderful natural landscape. We are waiting for you!

What we will do

We will meet at the canoeing and rafting centre in Balmuccia, in the province of Vercelli. On arrival, we will be welcomed by the guide, who will provide us with the necessary technical equipment (included). Before setting off on the adventure, we will get dressed and have a short theory lesson, which includes dry trials and notions of water skills.

Once the lesson is over, we will board the minibus that will take us to the river entrance point. Once in the water, we will be carried by the current through emerald green pools, natural slides or "toboga", rocks polished by time and water, and small waterfalls.

The route, which lasts about two hours, is very simple. It is, in fact, a perfect first experience to become familiar with the river. The dives are not high and the swimming is in current. We will, however, have the opportunity to immerse ourselves in nature and experience a new experience in unspoilt and magical places.

The complete experience lasts about three hours, including registration, dressing, theory lesson with dry runs, aquatics lesson, descent and transport in a minibus. Once finished, we will board the minibus that will take us back to the centre.

Who it is aimed at

The experience is aimed at everyone from 7 years old and up.

The activity is very simple, requires no special skills and is ideal as a first experience.

Other information

The activity takes place from July to September, weather permitting.

It will be possible to request a photo and video service (shared via memory stick) at a cost of €35 per raft, which can be paid for directly on site. Alternatively, it is possible to rent a GoPro for the same price to shoot video of the experience.

The centre is in a very convenient location for organising all the activities on the river and the time needed for travel will be very minimal. At the base there is a large green area equipped with picnic tables, barbecue, bar, beach volleyball and five-a-side football pitch. There is also a space for pitching tents, with toilets and hot showers.
