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.

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.

Relaxation and fun

A fun and not too demanding experience. On the route that my friends and I tackled, we were always at ease, thanks to both the guide Elodie and the route, which was quite long with moments of relaxation spent admiring the scenery, interspersed with slightly more challenging points where it was necessary to follow the guide's directions. In short, the Basic route is an experience suitable for anyone who wants to try something new, surrounded by nature and in total safety.

Beautiful Experience

We stayed in Val D1Aosta in September and went rafting with Emanuele's guys. Everything was very organised and safe. The landscape is beautiful and the Dora Baltea is an unforgettable experience. We will certainly return.

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

..and go for the first!

Unmissable experience! I went with my four boys (and my partner with her two): it was our 'first time' but Rafting will be one of the activities we will definitely repeat! Outstanding staff! I highly recommend it Fabio
