RAFTING IN VALSESIA ADVENTURE ON THE SESIA RIVER
Guided experiences for families, beginners, and thrill-seekers.
Is rafting dangerous or is it safe activity?
Rafting in Valsesia is a safe outdoor activity when practiced with certified Guides and on river's sections are suited to the group's level. Every descent on the Sesia River is preceded by an initial briefing and a theoretical lesson where you learn how to paddle, how to sit properly in the raft, and what safety rules to follow. The activity is carried out using approved technical equipment that is sanitized after each use (provided by the center). The choice of the river stretch is always guided by our staff to ensure maximum fun in total safety.
Who can join a rafting experience? Do you need special skills or training?
From 7 to 70 years old, anyone can go rafting! Rafting in Valsesia is accessible to a very wide audience. No previous experience is required: you simply need to know how to swim, not be afraid of the water, be in good health, and be eager to participate. Based on the age and abilities of the participants, different river's sections are suggested, making rafting perfect for families, groups, schools, and river sports enthusiasts.
What is the best time to go rafting in Valsesia?
Rafting on the Sesia River runs from April to September, with experiences that change depending on the season. In Spring and early Summer, the river has a higher water volume, offering wave-filled descents on the wider stretches of the Sesia River. During the summer months, on the other hand, the sections choosen are more technical and you get the chance to navigate the famous Sesia Gorges, widely considered the most adventurous rafting experience in the entire Alps. There is no absolute best time: every part of the year offers a unique way to experience rafting in Valsesia.

THE A.R.C. METHOD
Our absolute priority is to ensure that our guests never feel uncomfortable. For this reason, over the years we have created a model that embodies our core values: the A.R.C. method, an acronym for Avventura, Responsabilità, Crescita(Adventure, Responsibility, Growth).
-
Adventure: We are human beings, and by nature, we love discovering new experiences, big or small. Adventure is one of the pillars of the Alpin Rider Center. Our goal is to offer everyone the chance to live their own personal adventure, with enthusiasm and curiosity.
-
Responsibility: This is the commitment we make every day, going well beyond safety. We passionately share our love for nature and outdoor sports, respectfully guiding you along a path of discovery and emotion.
-
Growth: Stepping out of your comfort zone, challenging yourself, discovering new emotions: this is how we grow. We want to help you enrich your personal background of experiences and awareness, making every adventure an opportunity for evolution.
During the initial phases in the water, we observe and talk with our guests to personalize the experience and guarantee maximum fun, respecting their pace and emotions so they never feel uncomfortable.
SAFETY
Our Guides, in addition to being FIRAFT certified (Italian Rafting Federation), undergo monthly retraining to ensure consistency and top-level preparation.
