Full description
Adrenaline and thrills guaranteed with a rafting descent on theAdda's most impetuous stretch. On board the raft you will challenge class IV rapids for an extremely exciting adventure in direct contact with the power of nature.
An opportunity to exceed your limits and test your passion and determination, without losing sight of the fun and always remaining safe, thanks to the guidance of expert instructors.
In addition to all this, the wonderful scenery of the Valtellina, with its landscapes, will frame this experience and make it truly memorable!
What we will do
We will meet at the rafting centre in Castione Andevenno, in the province of Sondrio. We will be welcomed by the instructors, provided with theequipment to wear (wetsuit, life jacket and helmet), and we will move by shuttle to reach the point on the river where our adventure will take place.
Before boarding the rubber dinghies, we will have a detailed briefing on the basic techniques of rafting and the rules of behaviour and safety to be maintained throughout the activity, and then off we go to challenge the most impetuous stretch of the Adda! The descent involves overcoming a series of rapids, some of which are grade IV (considered very difficult on a scale of I to VI).
On the course we will face strong and irregular waves, we will have to dodge rocks, logs and other natural obstacles and try to tame the current with paddle strokes. Under the careful supervision of instructors, we will also carry out water skills tests, experience the thrill of swimming in a rapid and learn rescue procedures in the event of falling into the water.
The activity lasts a total of 2 hours (including briefing, preparation and transfers) and ends with the return to the rafting centre, where we can use the changing rooms and hot showers.
Who it is aimed at
This activity is at an advanced level and can be done from the age of 16. You do not need to be an experienced swimmer but you do need to have good self-control in the water. Recommended for those who have already had rafting experience.
