Your guide
I have always loved water, I consider it my element. I have been practising river sports since I was 14 years old. After discovering canoeing during a summer at the seaside, once back in Valtellina I enrolled in a canoe course and then the discovery of rafting led me to become the youngest FIRAFT Rafting Guide in Italy.

What we will do
We will meet at the river sports centre in Castione Andevenno, in the province of Sondrio. Here we will get to know our instructor who, before accompanying us into the waters of theAdda, will give a short theoretical lesson on hydrospeed.
The instructor will teach us how to manoeuvre the river bob, perform the correct movements and explain the behaviour to maintain during the activity to ensure our safety and the safety of those around us.
Once equipped with wetsuit, fins, helmet and life jacket we will be ready to grab the bob and dive in for our hydrospeed descent. The route we will face will be of basic level but full of excitement and fun!
We'll dodge the rocks, master the rapids and get carried away by the power of the river. the power of the river: a fast and intense descent that we will hardly be able to forget. hard to forget. The instructor will follow us on board a kayak and will be our point of reference for any needs.
In all, the activity lasts about 1½ hours.
