For those who love strong emotions
The rafting descents cover the navigable 28 km of the river with different degrees of difficulty, impetuous rapids for those who love strong emotions alternating with quieter sections also suitable for crews made up of families with children, each dinghy is composed of 6 - 7 participants plus the guide. Rafting is a sport suitable for everyone and to practice it is not necessary to be experienced or trained, for children we offer all descents with transshipment starting from 5 years, for adults there is no age limit.
I believe in the sun, even when it rains.
The excursions are always led by expert raft guides registered with FIRAFT (Italian Rafting Federation) who guarantee descents in complete safety, before departure a theoretical lesson is carried out in which the fundamental notions of this sport are explained and during the descent a demonstration of the safety position.
Rafting Classic
Includes the upper part of Val di Sole, rafting on the Noce river with arrival at the Extreme Waves Center located in Daolasa - Commezzadura, approximate total duration 1.50 '- 2 hours
At the beginning of the descent you will almost immediately encounter a first rapid, after which you will already have the right harmony to face the subsequent and more demanding ones, a small stop to demonstrate the safety position.
The most "adrenaline-pumping" part is located near Mezzana, where numerous National and International Rafting competitions have been held and you cross the lively slalom course of the Canoe Kayak World Championship, then you enter the technical stretch of continuous rapids up to Piano di Commezzadura, followed by a section suitable for children up to our Center.
The characteristic of this descent is to have a fairly quiet initial and final part, also ideal for families with children for whom a very short transfer of a rapid power station is expected to go up immediately afterwards and arrive all together at the Center.
In twenty years you will not be disappointed by the things you have done, but by those you have not done.
Rafting Exciting
From Monclassico to Ponte Stori in the lower part of the Noce River, approximate total duration 2.30 hours. This route will introduce you to the second navigable stretch of the River Noce.
The very sweet initial part allows the participants to "take the measures" to prepare for the rapids they will have to face on the suggestive wooded gorges. In this section, rafting is easy thanks to the good flow of the river increased by the confluence of the Meledrio torrent coming from Madonna di Campiglio - Folgarida - Dimaro and the Rabbies coming from the Val di Rabbi. After a succession of rapids, led by an expert White Water Guide, the arrival is expected at the wonderful rapid of Ponte Stori.
The large volume of water of the spring thaw makes this route very adventurous, in the middle of summer with less water it turns into a panoramic rafting descent particularly suitable for children. The Rafting Exciting descent is recommended for those who want to travel a wilder environment, a stretch of river intact and little touched by the hand of man.
Rafting Extreme
Route that includes the entire navigable part of the River Noce, in practice it is the sum of the previous descents, total duration approximately 3.30 '"The Queen of the River".
This rafting descent allows you to get to know practically the entire Val di Sole, you can capture the soul of the river Noce by rafting all the adrenaline-pumping rapids and enjoying the quiet and the view in the quietest passages.
You travel along the upper part of the Val di Sole to take a break at the Rafting Center for a hot tea and then leave again to travel the lower part of the Noce river, the journey from Dimaro to Monclassico is done by bus as this stretch of river is not navigable.
