Everything you need to know before a descent
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.
