What we will do
The meeting is at the centre of Scopa, in the province of Vercelli. On our arrival, we will be welcomed by the guide and together we will have an initial briefing in which we will be explained the technique of driving the raft and the main safety measures to be taken in the river.
The guide will also provide us with thenecessary equipment, i.e. wetsuit, helmet and life jacket. Afterwards, a minibus will take us to the embarkation point of the stretch of river we will be travelling along, which is about 2 km away. Once we arrive, we will be ready to enter the water!
The descent will mainly take place on two not-too-distant stretches of the Sesia, also known as the ' Race Section' and the 'Sesia Gorge'. The first is 10 km long, has numerous exciting rapids and can be run at the beginning of the season when water is most abundant on the rivers. The second, on the other hand, flows in a picturesque canyon further upstream, but with equally intense rapids.
After the descent, the minibus will take us back to the centre to end the experience with a hot shower in the changing rooms. The activity lasts a total of 3 hours, 2 of which are actually in the water.
