The Experience

You push off from Cusiano at the foot of San Michele's Castle and the current takes you immediately into the rhythm of the Noce River. The first stretch is gentle—enough time to settle into the boat, lock your feet, find the paddle stroke your guide has just shown you. Then the rapids start. Grade 2, grade 3, and soon you're in the thick of it, the water churning around you, the boat pitching and steadying as everyone paddles in sync. The whole descent takes almost two hours, and it's the longest rafting run on the Noce, which means you're not just dipping in—you're committed to the river.

The guides handle the logistics so you don't have to think about anything but the paddle and the water. Kids between six and thirteen get taken out at Mezzana—the section with the grade 4 rapids from the Mezzana World Championship Circuit—and driven by car to Piano di Commezzadura to rejoin the group, which keeps the younger ones safe without cutting the adults short. Everyone meets up again before the final stretch into Dimaro. The equipment is new and sanitized with ozone, and you get a wetsuit, water jacket, life jacket, helmet, and paddle. Transportation is included, so you're not figuring out how to get back to the start.

After you're out of the boat, there's a private park of over 10,000 square meters where you can dry off and decompress. A bar and restaurant are on-site if you want to sit down and eat something, which most people do after two hours of white water. The center is ISO 14001 certified, which means they're serious about not trashing the river they depend on. It's the kind of detail that doesn't sound dramatic until you realize it means they're not just running tours—they're managing the place so it stays worth coming back to.

What’s included

Private transportation to and from the river, safety briefing and paddle instruction, 3mm wetsuit, water jacket, life jacket, helmet, paddle, and access to the private park with bar and restaurant after the activity.
