Details
Surrounded by the stunning nature of Val di Sole in Trentino, you’ll experience an unforgettable rafting adventure on the Noce River, ending at the Extreme Waves Center located in Commezzadura. This route is suitable for families and children from 5 years old, ensuring fun and safety for everyone. The total duration of the experience is about 1.50 - 2 hours, including equipment delivery, a theoretical lesson, and transportation. The length of the route and the overall duration may vary depending on river conditions.
Program- Preparation:
Please arrive about 20 minutes before departure. At the meeting point, you’ll receive all the necessary equipment: helmet, life jacket, wetsuit, and waterproof jacket. Once you’re changed, you’ll board our minibus to reach the starting point. Here, you’ll receive a theoretical lesson on paddling techniques and safety rules, along with a practical demonstration of the correct positions and useful techniques to tackle the rapids safely.
- Activity:
The adventure begins almost immediately with a first rapid — a great chance to get comfortable with the water and bond with your crew. After this, you’ll continue along the river, facing increasingly challenging rapids. Halfway through, we’ll stop briefly while the instructors demonstrate the safety position. The most exciting and adrenaline-filled part is near Mezzana, known for hosting numerous national and international rafting competitions and the World Canoe Kayak Slalom course. From here, the route becomes more technical, with continuous rapids until reaching Piano di Commezzadura.
For families with children, the route includes a short transfer by minibus to avoid the most challenging central rapid. Children can then get back on the rafts and complete the descent with the rest of the group.
- Arrival:
The descent ends at the Extreme Waves Center in Commezzadura, where you’ll find all the comforts to relax and enjoy the rest of your day. There are changing rooms, large green lawns, shaded areas, tables, and benches for picnicking.

An experience suitable for everyone; we did it as a family, 4 adults and 5 children.
Exciting and fun, a different way to discover Val di Sole and experience nature.
Knowledgeable guides are ready to make the experience enjoyable for everyone.
The facility is well-equipped to best manage preparation (wetsuit, helmet, life jacket, transfers, etc.) and the return to reality (changing rooms, showers, picnic area, etc.).
