Full description
Come and discover the Novella River Park with an exciting kayak excursion. Venture along a nature trail that winds through the heart of Val di Non, in Trentino, among woods and breathtaking canyons.
Accompanied by expert instructors, you will explore an area characterised by torrents, fjords and gorges carved into the rock by the age-old flow of water from nearby glaciers. A true corner of paradise, hidden and barely accessible, that has remained untouched by time.
Bring out the adventurer in you, paddle in hand, let's go!
What we will do
We will meet at around 9 a.m. or 2 p.m. in Dimaro, in the province of Trento. Once we have checked in and handed over thenecessary equipment, we will drive to the starting point of the excursion, near Cles (included). Before boarding the kayak, the guides will conduct a short theory lesson and provide us with all the safety instructions.
Our adventure will begin at Lake Santa Giustina, which is the only access route to the Novella Gorge. We will start paddling and after about 40 minutes, the first fatigues will be repaid by the surprising view of the unexplored gorge. We will feel as if we are sailing through the fjords of Norway, immersed in a harsh but fascinating landscape dominated by imposing rocks and pure waters. And in the background, the majestic Brenta Dolomites.
The route through the gorges varies from 6 to 9 km, depending on the water level. We will use sit-on-top kayaks, which are very easy to manoeuvre even for beginners. The water excursion lasts 3 hours and is particularly suitable for couples and families, even with children (up to 12 years of age are allowed to travel on board the double kayak, between parents).
Who it is aimed at
This activity is at an easy level and open to everyone from 5 years old and up. No technical skills are required, but you need to be in good physical condition to paddle at a slow pace for two to three hours.
Other information
The activity can be booked from June to September and is confirmed when there are at least 4 participants.
Important: The meeting point is in Dimaro, with free transport to Cles. Alternatively, the meeting point can be arranged directly with the guide half an hour later at Cles.
