Rafting Classic
It includes the upper part of Val di Sole, rafting on the Noce river in Trentino, arriving at the Extreme Waves Center located in Daolasa, Commezzadura.

At the beginning of the descent you will almost immediately encounter the first rapid, once this has been overcome it continues with the right harmony of the crew to be able to calmly face the subsequent more challenging ones. The rafts stop for a short break with the demonstration and technique of the safety position.
The most "adrenaline-filled" part is located near Mezzana, where numerous National and International Rafting competitions have taken place 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. The characteristic of this descent is to have a fairly quiet initial part, also ideal for families with children for whom a very short transfer of a central rapid is planned to go back up immediately afterwards and arrive all together at the Centre.
