In a dinghy on the rapids

What is rafting?

Let's start from the basics: rafting is going down a river in a dinghy, called a “raft”, which is unsinkable and self-emptying. It's an exciting sport, especially where the descent gets faster and the current makes the dinghy do little jumps. It's a sport for everyone (you just have to know how to swim) and doesn't require any particular skills to start.

The basic equipment includes a life jacket, a protective helmet, and a suit made of neoprene, which is vital, especially if you're going rafting down a river or a mountain stream, as in our case. As well as a paddle of course! This will all be provided by the rafting center.

Whereas under your suit, we suggest you wear a costume, a long-or short-sleeved breathable top, long socks (wool or synthetic), and sneakers or trekking shoes.

An exciting experience in the Val di Sole

The Val di Sole is a point of reference for rafting enthusiasts from all over the world, with a course covering about 28 km along the river Noce, immersed in the lush vegetation.

As reported above, it's an experience that can be enjoyed by everyone, including very young kids, as long as you know how to swim, want to have fun and make friends and step up to the challenge. That's right, because the dinghy crew can be made up of four, six or eight people; so, unless you're planning to take part in the experience with a group of friends, you'll have the chance to meet other sportspeople like yourself and share the adventure with them.

Going rafting in Trentino is a safe activity because a professional guide always accompanies every trip and is there to give you theoretical advice and the necessary technical instructions before you start.
