Full description

SUP on the Ticino! We bet you've never tried an experience like this?

Join us for a day of fun, sport and nature in the Ticino Park. Paddling from Cerano to Ramo delle Streghe, you will discover a fantastic discipline like river SUP and learn all its secrets thanks to the presence of an expert guide.

There will be a bushcraft-style picnic along the 'blue river', to feel catapulted into an adventure film.

What we will do

The appointment is at 9.30 a.m. at the indicated meeting point near Vigevano (PV), in the Ticino Park.

Here we will be welcomed by the guide and board a minibus to reach Cerano, the starting point of the excursion, which is about 30 minutes away. Once there, we will enter the water and attend a briefing to learn how to balance on the SUP and paddle in the current.

We will glide on our boards along the course of the Ticino river, nicknamed the 'blue river' for the clarity of its waters. We will alternate between stretches of paddling and refreshing breaks with dips and swims, enjoying the pristine environment around us to the full. If we are lucky, we may even spot various water birds such as herons and cormorants, or foxes or deer on the shore.

Around 12.30 p.m. we will stop at a beach for a break of about an hour and a half, during which we will improvise a picnic overlooking the river (included). We will light a fire and cook ourselves some food in true bushcraft style! Having recovered our energy, we will climb back onto the SUPs to complete the approximately 7 km descent.

The finishing point of the route will be the Ramo delle Streghe (Witches' Branch), a secondary stretch of the Ticino river characterised by shallow waters and an abundance of fish. Here we will pick up the cars left at the start and conclude the hike at around 16:00.

The excursion will last a total of about 6 ½ hours.

The activity is suitable for everyone from 10 years of age. Minors may participate alone, but must be accompanied by a responsible adult to sign the release form.
