To be redone
A fantastic experience, great fun, and the two guides, Christian and Gabriele, were really friendly. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to do something a bit different just a stone’s throw from Turin

Back to the Future.
A lovely day. I did this route several years ago, also in this area, and it took me on a pleasant trip down memory lane. I’ll definitely do it again, but spread over several days.

I liked it
It was an experience I’d been wanting to try for ages, and I did it with my son.nIt’s not a game; it’s quite challenging, but the staff are knowledgeable and always on hand. You need to listen carefully and respond promptly to everything they say.nI enjoyed it and would do it again, including the Fontine rapids.

To be cherished!!!
It was a thrilling experience for me and my children, aged 10 and 20. The instructors are well-trained and ensure a safe yet incredibly fun adventure. So I’d recommend it to people of all ages for a few hours of ‘unusual madness’.
