Rafting in Umbria: everything you need to know

Rafting is a sporting discipline that involves descending a stream in a raft. Each raft can accommodate a maximum of 8 people.
Before setting off, a short basic lesson is held to learn how to properly use the paddles and the rest of the equipment. In addition to a swimsuit, participants wear a neoprene wetsuit, a life jacket and a protective helmet to travel safely.
Once on board, the rafting guide gives commands to the crew to move through the natural obstacles along the river.

The best rafting trips in Umbria

Rafting centers in Umbria organize activities suitable for everyone, beginners and experts.
Those who wish to go rafting in the Valnerina can choose to navigate the Nera River. Beginners and families prefer to go through the less challenging section, while thrill-seekers have a go at a harder route under the Marmore Falls.
Another possible location is the Corno River, a tributary of the Nera River, known for the quality of its water.

Rafting at Marmore Falls

Those who want to take more extreme routes choose to go rafting under the Marmore Falls. Here the Nera River flows faster, creating 4th grade rapids through the rich vegetation of the Nera River Park.

Rafting in Norcia: the best trips on the Corno River

The best rafting trip in Norcia is on the Corno River. Along the river you pass through stretches where the water flows rapidly and stretches where you can contemplate the view in peace. Starting from Serravalle di Norcia, you reach the Biselli gorges, a striking spot characterized by high vertical walls overhanging the river.
Also, on the way, you can stop at a small beach to drink and refresh yourself with the pure water from a natural spring.

Rafting on the Nera River: the best trips

From Scheggino you can go rafting on the Nera River, on its 5-km stretch with no technical difficulties. This route is perfect for families with children and for those who want to appreciate the beauty of the Valnerina landscape.

How much does it cost to go rafting in Umbria?

In Umbria, rafting costs between 25 and 40 euros. The price varies depending on the starting location, features and length of the route. In addition, for an extra fee, you can receive photos and videos of the experience.

Gift a rafting trip in Umbria

Rafting is the ideal group activity for celebrating birthdays, graduation parties or bachelor/bachelorette parties. Book a rafting experience in Umbria and spend a fun-filled day with the people you love.

Soft Rafting in Valnerina, family-friendly trips

In stretches where the Nera River is particularly calm, it is also possible to go rafting with younger children or friends who cannot swim.
The trip, in this case, is a leisurely and scenic ride down the river aboard the raft. You get to have fun in the splashing water while admiring the kingfishers perched on branches and logs, ready to swoop down into the water.

Beautiful experience

All the staff, but really everything, was excellent: helpfulness, kindness, friendliness and so much, so much competence. Excellent organisation and spectacular places to see safely. A special applause to Stefano as supervisor, to the photographer (whose name I can't remember) and to the great Nicolò who guided us with skill and sympathy. We will definitely be back.
