Rafting Aosta: what you need to know to make the most out of the experience
Rafting is a river activity consisting in a descent of a mountain stream aboard a special boat, the raft. The crew, consisting of about 8 people, sails down the river and overcomes rapids and various natural obstacles they find on the way.
Before setting off, the guide offers a briefing on basic rules and participants are taught how to use paddles. Once on board, the guide gives necessary directions and coordinates the movements of the rest of the crew to move along the river.
Rafting is a sport suitable for everyone. There is no real age limit, you just need to be in shape and have good water skills. Each river has different levels of difficulty, and everyone can choose the route according to their level.

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!

Super journée
Nous avons passé un super moment. Nous avons été très bien accueilli pas Federica et son équipe. Les infrastructures sont modeste, mais très fonctionnel. Après une brève présentation, nous nous sommes équipé et les choses sérieuse ont pu commencé. Tout d'abord la sécurité, nous avons très bien été sensibiliser et après les instructions du guide nous avons pu approcher de l'eau. Nous avons été très impressionner par la force de la rivière, mais aussi impatient de faire la descente. Nous avons adorer cette expérience et la recommandons vivement à tous les amateurs de sensations forte ! Encore merci à toutes l'équipe !

Great activity
While staying in Valle d’Aosta we decided to go try rafting. We were 4 adults with 2 kids aged 9 and 5. Upon arriving we were given a brief orientation on a worse case scenario. We went on the raft and it was so fun! The kids were too cold though since they are little and were not paddling. Next time round i’d consider getting my son diving gloves (if they exist lol). Other than that, the instructor was extremely nice and knowledgeable. We’ll definitely do it again :) Oh and don’t forget to buy the photos!!

Wonderful experience!
Perfect organisation and a fantastic team who gave us a unique experience. No fears whatsoever on a route that was run to perfection by our knowledgeable and very friendly guide! Wonderful for us as parents and unforgettable for our 10-year-old son! I recommend arriving already with your swimming costume on and a backpack with slippers and bathrobe for the final shower. Nothing more!

Beautiful and fun
It was my first time on a rafting boat, thanks to the guide we quickly learnt all the rules to follow on the river. It was a really good experience only pity for the weather which was not exactly favourable
