Rafting is a team river sport that involves traveling down the course of a river or mountain stream in special rafts. Each rafting ra ft carries a crew of 6 to 8 people, captained by an experienced guide who coordinates movements and gives commands to overcome rapids and other natural obstacles. Rafting is anactivity suitable for everyone, requiring no specific experience; you just need to be in good health, have good aquatics and choose the route best suited to your level. Before entering the water, a briefing is given on the rules of behavior and safety, and you are immediately ready to go. The best time to go rafting is from April to October. The navigability of the river depends on hydrometric conditions. Because of its abundant water flow, the Stura di Demonte River is navigable even in midsummer.
To go rafting on the Stura di Demonte River, you can start from Gaiola, just 20 minutes from the city of Cuneo. From here the classic rafting descent starts, which is 6 to 8 km long and alternates between lively stretches with rapids and quieter sections where you can contemplate the surrounding nature. The integral descent, on the other hand, is about 18 km long…for those who never get tired!
The Stura di Demonte River can also be traveled by kayak-raft, a one- or two-seater inflatable boat that allows greater agility and freedom of movement. It is ideal for combining canoeing and rafting for an even more eventful experience!
Prices for rafting in and around Cuneo depend mainly on the length of the route. It starts from 49 euros per person for the classic rafting descent up to 65 euros for the full rafting descent. Rates include the guide, any transfers and all necessary technical equipment (neoprene wetsuit, water jacket, helmet and life jacket)
Are you tired of the usual gifts and looking for an original and fun idea? You are in the right place! Here you will find hundreds of adventurous wilderness experiences, and you can turn your next gifts into real surprises that will leave everyone speechless!

Everyone should have this experience at least once! We went on a family outing, divided into two rubber dinghies, and were accompanied by a team of young and empathetic instructors who, when they realised we were willing to jump in the water, play, but also quietly admire the wonder of nature in the calmer stretches of the river, went along with us. Everything always took place in total safety. Rescue simulations, dives, drifting.... We couldn't pass up the videos they took of us with the GoPro. A special thank you to Paolo, the contact person for this fantastic experience, for his exquisite kindness, and a big hug also to Wako and Nacho (is that how you write it?) who guided us skilfully on the descent; very good, very nice and very well prepared. We hope to see you again and thanks again for everything!!!!

Before we started, our very friendly guides Waco and Nacho gave us all the information we needed to enjoy the experience safely, conveying competence and seriousness. We had a great time challenging small rapids and playing the different games they proposed. You can tell they love their job. The surrounding mountain landscape is beautiful.

Paolo's entire team manages to make an already exciting experience really special and out of the box. The scenery would be enough to make the trip special, but the friendliness and willingness to get involved add a unique flavour!
