Val di Sole is certainly the ideal place to indulge in water sports in the summer season, thanks to the presence of the Noce river, the main stream of the valley. One of the funniest activities is definitely rafting, perfect for young and old.
Rafting is a descent down a river aboard a special dinghy called a raft. The dinghy is guided through the currents of the river thanks to the use of the paddle.
This sport is ideal in every situation, from the most difficult routes (with sudden and impetuous rapids) to the simplest ones, and it is a sport that can be practiced by adults and children.
Although it is a sport suitable for everyone, some important precautions are of course necessary, such as the use of suitable equipment: neoprene wetsuit, life jacket, helmet and throwing rope.
Rafting is a sport discipline recognized by the Italian Rafting Federation and by Coni.
In addition to rafting, Val di Sole is also the ideal location for high water sports activities, such as hydrospeed, entirely immersed in water, pushed by the current, the participants cling to a small board that floats and follow the course of the river , kayak and canoe excursions.
