Rafting is an exciting group sport for everybody. Aboard a large inflatable boat capable of accommodating up to 7 people plus the guide, you embark on a river descent, overcoming the natural obstacles, such as boulders, steeps and currents, present along the way.
To take part in the descents, all you need is to know how to swim and be happy to share unique and exciting sensations with a group of people. You will navigate rough waters disseminated with rapids and gullies to be overcome by paddling and following the guide’s directions. The orographic conformation of the Sesia area allows this discipline to be carried out approximately from April until September.
A SPORT FOR EVERYBODY
Choose the rafting experience that suits you best from the many alternatives offered by the River Sesia:
- the Classic Rafting route is a very impressive and exciting 10 km stretch that is suitable for everybody; it starts in Balmuccia and ends in Varallo;
- the Sesia Gully Rafting Route consists of an intense and spectacular descent, a combination of rafting, canyoning and river trekking that provides a complete river experience; the 3 km route stretches from the Muro area to Balmuccia;
- the most challenging routes, such as the stretch from Piode to Scopa, or the Balmuccia Rapid, can only be travelled when the river flow is appropriate. Moreover, they are suitable for those who have already experienced rafting.
