Activity description
Embark on an exhilarating cano-Raft adventure in the captivating region of Ticino. The Ticino River, born high up in the majestic Alps, welcomes you with its untamed beauty as it cascades down from the steep mountains, setting the stage for an unforgettable journey. Prepare to be amazed by the splashing waves, emerald green waters, white granite rocks, and gravel banks, all amidst a breathtaking Mediterranean landscape that immerses you in nature's embrace.
Discover the joy of canoe rafting in the sunny canton of Switzerland, where an increasing number of people of all ages are captivated by this thrilling blend of excitement, nature encounters, and team challenges. Brace yourself for rushing rapids, sparkling waters, and picturesque beaches that line the riverbanks. Unlike the adrenaline-fueled rafting tours, this experience is designed for those seeking to relish the beauty of the Mediterranean landscape while enjoying a relaxed and fun-filled canoe trip.
In canoe rafting, the saying goes, "the smaller the boat, the more fun." As part of a small team in a stable hose canoe, you'll come face to face with the essence of white water rafting in Ticino—an adventure packed with fun, action, and a profound connection with nature.
Navigate the waves and granite rocks of the "Fiume Ticino" in a nimble inflatable canoe, accelerating and steering through the exhilarating torrents of water. Our expert guides will accompany you on a suitable route, providing essential safety instructions and valuable tips to ensure you can maneuver your canoe with confidence.
