Activity description

Refresh yourself in the cool waters of the Sesia river in this thrilling adventure that will have you diving, sliding, and floating down the fast-flowing current of the river!

River trekking is a fun and exciting outdoor adventure sport that’s a mix of hiking, sliding on wet surfaces, climbing, and swimming along the river. This is a great excursion to do with your friends and family, and you will get to explore the enchanting landscapes of the “Gole del Sesia” (Gorges of the Sesia) during this activity.

Location
As one of the longest rivers in the Piedmont region, the Sesia river is known throughout Italy for its crystal-clear waters, rich ecosystem, and for being a paradise for water sports lovers. The river has also hosted the Italian Rafting Championships each year and is where the European and World Championships for kayaking were held in 2001 & 2002.

Program
After a safety briefing and an overview on what to expect during your river trek, you will descend the Sesia river where you will get to have incredible views of unspoiled landscapes in the “Gole del Sesia” (Gorges of the Sesia) section of the river. Located between the charming villages of Scopa and Balmuccia, these gorges are renowned throughout Europe for their natural beauty.

As you surround yourself in the staggeringly high walls of the canyon, you will get to walk in the main outlet of the river between dives, natural slides, and floating with the current.

For your next holiday, “get carried away” in this unforgettable adventure on the Sesia river!
