Rafting: what it is and how to practice it
Rafting is a group river sport that consists in descending a river or mountain stream in special boats, called rafts. A crew travels on each raft, captained by an experienced guide who coordinates movements and gives commands. Along the way, you will encounter rapids and other natural obstacles that you must overcome with the help of paddles.
In its recreational form, rafting is a sport suitable for everyone. No specific skills or experience are needed to practice it. You just need to have a good relationship with the water and choose the course best suited to your level. Before boarding the rafts, the guide holds a briefing on basic techniques and safety rules, and you are immediately ready to go.

27 Jul 2025 | Fontine' rafting descent on Dora Baltea
Morning of fun
More than positive experience, good guys in explaining the briefing, not boring at all and good at making the descent experience beautiful. Just over 2 and a half hours. Between briefing, dressing, descent and return to the base point

Great time on Dora Baltea
Amazing time!!! The staff is so nice and professional . The Dora Baltea is a strong, beautiful alpine river. We have totally enjoyed the two descents after the safety briefing, because we felt in total confidence. Such a good fun! And the view from the river was also amazing, with the 'Mont Blanc' right behind us!

Adrenalin in safety
Excellent organisation that provides a safe experience even for inexperienced tourists. The river offers a fun, at times exciting, but not frightening course. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The quality of the photos and videos taken by Santiago are excellent and worth taking, not least because the cost is absolutely reasonable.
