Everything you need to know about rafting

Rafting is a water sport that involves traveling down the course of a river by overcoming rapids and other natural obstacles. On each raft sails a crew of 6 to 8 people, captained by a guide who coordinates movements and gives commands.

Rafting requires no special physical skills or previous experience. You just need to choose the route that best suits your level. Before each trip, guides hold a briefing on paddling techniques and safety rules, and you are ready to go. The rafting center provides everything you need, including wetsuit, helmet, life jacket and water jacket.

Rafting on the Lima: the best trips

The Lima River near Bagni di Lucca in the Lima Valley offers the best conditions for rafting. It is from this still wild corner of Garfagnana that the best trips start.

The boarding point for navigating the frothy rapids of the stream is located in the hamlet of Fabbriche di Casabasciana. From here, it is possible to embark on two routes: the classic 4-kilometer trip and the more adventurous 8-kilometer trip. Both are also suitable for children 6 years and older.

Rafting Lima: how much does it cost?
