Rafting what it is and how to practice

Rafting is a river sport that involves traveling down the course of a river through rapids and other natural obstacles. The special rafts can carry up to 8 people. The crew is captained by an experienced guide who coordinates movements and gives commands for navigation.

In its recreational form, rafting is a sport for everyone, you just need to choose the route best suited to your level. Before setting off on a rafting trip, a briefing is held to learn how to properly use the paddle, wetsuit and safety equipment are put on, and you are immediately ready to enter the water.

Great activity

While staying in Valle d’Aosta we decided to go try rafting. We were 4 adults with 2 kids aged 9 and 5. Upon arriving we were given a brief orientation on a worse case scenario. We went on the raft and it was so fun! The kids were too cold though since they are little and were not paddling. Next time round i’d consider getting my son diving gloves (if they exist lol). Other than that, the instructor was extremely nice and knowledgeable. We’ll definitely do it again :) Oh and don’t forget to buy the photos!!

Relaxation and fun

A fun and not too demanding experience. On the route that my friends and I tackled, we were always at ease, thanks to both the guide Elodie and the route, which was quite long with moments of relaxation spent admiring the scenery, interspersed with slightly more challenging points where it was necessary to follow the guide's directions. In short, the Basic route is an experience suitable for anyone who wants to try something new, surrounded by nature and in total safety.

Wonderful experience!

Perfect organisation and a fantastic team who gave us a unique experience. No fears whatsoever on a route that was run to perfection by our knowledgeable and very friendly guide! Wonderful for us as parents and unforgettable for our 10-year-old son! I recommend arriving already with your swimming costume on and a backpack with slippers and bathrobe for the final shower. Nothing more!

Stag do

Wonderful experience, very professional and friendly staff. The place is very well organised and cosy. As soon as we finished the rafting descent, we relaxed in the centre area with tables and sofas in the shade to refresh ourselves. Many thanks to the staff!
