Rafting: everything you need to know

Rafting is a river sport that involves traveling down the flow of a river. It is practiced aboard special inflatable boats, rafts. Each raft carries a crew of 6 to 8 participants, captained by an experienced guide who coordinates movements and gives commands. Aided by paddles, the crew overcomes rapids and other natural obstacles on the course.

Rafting is an activity for everyone. It requires no special skills other than a good relationship with water. Before setting out, we prepare by conducting a short lesson on basic techniques and safety rules. To go rafting you need to wear a bathing suit, thermal shirt and sneakers. All other equipment is provided by the rafting center.

The classic rafting trip on the Nera River has a length of 5 km, is mostly scenic and has no particular technical difficulties.

In the Valnerina, you can also go rafting on the Corno River, a tributary of the Nera. This waterway is very picturesque, especially in the Biselli Gorge section, where the river flows between narrow overhanging rock walls.
