Full description
Treat yourself to your first river kayaking experience along a quiet stretch of the Sesia River, one of the wonders of the Alps.
Let yourself be seduced by the thrill of river kayaking along a quiet stretch of the Sesia river. In just 4 hours, under the guidance of an experienced instructor, you will learn the basics of kayaking and try your hand at an easy route of about 2 km while enjoying the enchanting panorama of the valley.
Enjoy an experience that combines sport, fun and the unspoilt charm of nature!
What we will do
The meeting is at the Mollia kayak centre, in the province of Vercelli. The instructor will welcome us and explain how to move the paddle, how to position ourselves in the kayak, and how to accompany the movement of the paddle with the body. We will also do some practice on the lawn of the kayak centre.
Afterwards, we will board the transfer that will take us to the river in about 10 minutes. The instructor will choose a quiet section of the river, suitable as a first experience.
Once on board the kayak, we will put into practice what we have learnt, following the valuable advice of the instructor who will follow us step by step. Once we have mastered the technique of paddling, and are now comfortable, we will begin an easy 2 km route along the river, which may vary depending on water levels.
We will enjoy paddling for about 2 hours together with the instructor and our companions, discovering the beauty of this sport that will allow us to feel at one with the surrounding nature. On the way, we will be able to admire the villages of Campertogno, Piove and Valmuccia from the water. If we wish and if the instructor allows it, we can also tackle a few rapids.
Finally, we will return to the starting point in about 20 minutes by transfer. Between briefings, transfers and the route, the total duration of the experience is about 4 hours.
