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.
Along the Dora Baltea River there are the best rafting routes in the Aosta Valley. It is possible to tackle the full 14-km navigable section starting from Morgex, or select only some sections according to your level.
In addition to this classic rafting trip, you can embark at Pré Saint Didier and ride the waters of a lively third-grade rapid. Another ideal option for enthusiasts is to try their hand at more technical stretches, such as the rapids of Leverogne and Le Fontine.
Rafting on the Dora Baltea River is an experience suitable for everyone, even the little ones. A children’s rafting trip covers the 3 km between Morgex and La Salle, not very challenging but still exciting. Or you can take advantage of the rafting centers’ transport service to embark below Pré Saint Didier and ride another 3 km through the waves.
Rafting in the Aosta Valley ranges in price from 25 to 65 euros depending on the starting location, features and length of the trip. For an extra fee, some rafting centers offer additional services such as photo/video taking or dog-sitting.
Gift a rafting trip in the Aosta Valley to celebrate birthdays, graduation parties or bachelor/bachelorette parties. Or choose the trip most in line with your preferences and share this adventure with your family or friends.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
