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.

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.
