RIVER DRIFT - 100% ADVENTURE
River drift!
The NEWEST!
A unique experience combining rapid swimming, diving, and canyoning for those seeking fun and adrenaline.
Is River Drift dangerous, or is it a safe activity?
River Drift in Valsesia is a safe outdoor activity if practiced with Guides and the proper equipment. Every run is preceded by an initial briefing where you learn white-water swimming techniques, how to navigate rapids, and safety rules in the water. The activity is conducted with certified technical gear (thick neoprene wetsuit, helmet, high-flotation life jacket). The choice of the river stretch is always managed by the center's staff to ensure maximum fun in total safety.
