Rafting, everything you need to know to practice it at its best
Rafting is a river sport that is practiced aboard a special boat, called a raft, which can carry a maximum of 8 people. Before setting off, there is always a short introductory briefing to learn how to properly use the paddles and the rest of the equipment.
After boarding, an experienced rafting guide gives directions to the rest of the crew to overcome the rapids and natural obstacles along the way. Rafting is an affordable activity for everyone. You just have to choose the route that suits your level, from the easiest for beginners to the most challenging for adrenaline junkies.
The best trips to tackle on the Sesia River
Among the various rafting trips in Piedmont, along the Sesia we find the scenic 10 km route from Balmuccia to Varallo, in the heart of Valsesia. Those who are novices and want to become familiar with this activity can choose the shorter route from Balmuccia to Vocca or from Vocca to Varallo. When there is not enough water to do the activity, we move to the Sesia Gorge, which is popular for its high granite walls and water features created by the current.
Best rafting trips in Balmuccia
Among the best rafting routes in Valsesia we find the one from Balmuccia to Varallo. Following the currents, you challange numerous rapids with distinctive names (Slalom, Drunk, Igloo etc.), all while admiring by the mountain peaks that border this famous valley. It is also possible to travel the river with mini-rafts, a kind of inflatable canoes for one or two people.
How much does it cost to go rafting in Valsesia?
In Valsesia, rafting costs around 55 euros per person. Equipment is always included in the price, as is the transfer to the embarkation point, offered by the rafting centers. Some centers also offer free photos and videos of the experience. Other times, however, they can be requested at an additional cost.

Rafting with friends
First rafting experience, I must say very enjoyable! A morning immersed in nature and the cool waters of the river. On our way, we crossed rapids and stopped to swim and dive.

First time in mini-raft
An extraordinary experience on the River Sesia in a mini-raft for two people. The place is magnificent and the day favoured us. Our instructor was helpful and very good... the real challenge for our first mini-raft outing was coordinating and communicating as well as doing the manoeuvres. Really an exciting afternoon

Fun and great professionalism
I should mention that I am a fairly fearful person of water activities. The guide explained in detail how to behave and made us feel completely safe. I recommend this fabulous experience on the Sesia to everyone.

Great first experience...
Great first experience on board a Mini-Raft. Well-prepared guides and a route that is suitable for everyone but does not fail to arouse strong emotions. All this, surrounded by a truly evocative landscape. Highly recommended!

A river of emotions
Adventure day. First time in Val Sesia and first approach to rafting. I would say a total experience which not only immersed me in nature, but also allowed me to confront the elements, the river above all. All masterfully managed by trained, capable and dedicated instructors. I would say something to be repeated!!!!!
