DESCRIPTION
This is one of the most stunning and exciting rafting excursions and offers the chance to travel down one of the most beautiful sections of the Brenta river, a kingdom of wild and at times untouched nature. During the descent, you’ll experience a series of rapids alternating with fast-flowing water set against a backdrop of breathtaking scenery. From the river, you can admire some of the most beautiful locations in the Brenta Valley and the surrounding mountains: the natural cave fortress of Covolo di Butistone, the fearsome vertical rock walls of Val Gadena, the terraces of San Gaetano, the mountain towering over the rooftops of the houses that sketches out an impassable landscape filled with scenery of rare magnificence and grand surprises. Our guides, all licensed by the Italian Rafting Federation, will conduct you safely along this descent even if you are not very experienced. It will be hard not to share your excitement with the whole team during this fantastic adventure!
