At our Base (Località Isola, 3, 13020 Vocca VC, Italy)
Details
The ideal rafting adventure for all beginners and sports enthusiasts in Piemonte. On the crystal clear waters of the Monterosa we cross some of the most famous river sections of the Sesia. Also all nature lovers get their money's worth. The enchanting mountains and hills around the Sesia make the Valsesia the greenest valley in Italy.
Tour programme- Preparation:
The start of the experience is at our base, please be there 15 minutes in advance. It is very easy to find from the main road and you can park directly there. After a welcome and registration, our guides will introduce you to the security and technique .
- Tour:
You can change in the cabins and lock your valuables with us. With our minibuses we drive to the entry points in Balmuccia. Over the rapids with quiet and challenging places we reach Varallo 10 km away and take you back to the base with our transporter.
In periods when the "classic" stretch of the river does not have enough water, the route is moved to the gorges of the Sesia. This stretch of the river, with its unique and indescribable characteristics, creates fun and exciting water games. During this route you alternate the descent with two passages where you walk along the bank of the river and breaks to be able to swim and jump into the river.
- Arrival:
There you are invited to spend the rest of the day, do barbeque, play volleyball or just enjoy the sun.
