Rafting: what you need to know before praticing it

Rafting is a team water sport practiced on special boats, the rafts, and involves descending the course of a river or mountain stream. On board each raft, there’s a rafting guide who gives commands to the group. Thus, the crew guides the raft down the river overcoming rapids and other natural obstacles.

First things first, you have to wear the wetsuit and the rest of the equipment. After reaching the embarkation point, the guide holds a technical briefing on paddle use. The trails are always fun and scenic and alternate between quiet and dynamic stretches. Finally, you return to the base of the rafting center, where you can often stay and enjoy some relaxing time.

A rafting trip in Umbria can last from 1 to 2 hours, and depending on your level, you can choose the route that best suits your needs. Usually, rafting is done from April to October, when the river flow is optimal.

27 Jun 2022 | Rafting on the Corno River in Serravalle di Norcia

Adventurous day, we had a great time, it was our first time. The Argentinean guy who accompanied us throughout the whole experience was really nice, kind and helpful. The organisation with the means to move us from one stage of the route to another was excellent. The only flaw was a bit of disorganisation at the beginning as a guide was not immediately available for our activity but overall it was a really nice day, we will definitely be back!

Adventure with the Winx

The friendliness and competence of Francesco and the stubbornness and desire to succeed of Eduardo, who acted as our Charon! They allowed us to get to know a fantastic world that began with the 'Winx'. , a safe plunge into the waters with the company of the firemen practising; and an arrival riding the rapids. Really all fun to be repeated. Francesca Giovanni and Benedetta.

Don’t miss this experience.

It was a fantastic day from start to finish where we were guided by a wonderful team and Greg took good care of us. The trip was fabulously beautiful with idyllic scenery, plants and wildlife. The rafting was safely guided and the river was a good mix of fast passages and quiet beautiful breaks. It is a festive trip for both children and adults.

a good experience, a lot of fun, two hours passed in the blink of an eye, I recommend it, always in the utmost safety. The only thing I regretted was the very few photos taken of our crew due to low battery by the staff. Perhaps more attention should be paid to these details.

Revitalising

Dinghy of 4 + the guide, Alessandro. We spent a few hours immersed in the freshness and clarity of the river. We drank from a natural spring, dived in and admired the view while listening to what Alessandro was telling us. An experience not to be missed 🤩
