SAN PELLEGRINO TERME RIVER TUBE FIELD GUIDE
River Tubing sul Brembo — Drop into Val Brembana’s Rapids
A guided, three-hour tubing (or rafting, if water levels require) descent of the Brembo from San Pellegrino Terme that details what to expect, what to bring, and how the outing runs.
River Tubing sul Brembo — Drop into Val Brembana’s Rapids.
Feel the rush as you raft or tube down the Brembo River, framed by the green folds of Val Brembana. The outing pairs playful rapids and clear water with guided safety: you ride a purpose-built inflatable tube (or, when levels rise, a classic raft), work with a paddle, and are accompanied on the river by a guide in kayak for the full descent.

The route threads through transparent stretches and short rapids that make for an engaging, splash-forward ride—designed to be fun for varied skill levels and easily switched to rafting when conditions demand.
Green canyon of Val Brembana
The descent runs through the wooded, verdant corridor of Val Brembana, offering regular pockets of calm water for paddling practice and scenic breaks between the rapids.
Guides, briefing and on-site facilities
A technical briefing teaches paddling basics and river safety before launch; a guide follows the group in kayak for the entire descent, and base facilities include indoor changing rooms and showers at the finish.
What the day feels like
What the descent feels like
Expect a tight, three-hour sequence: gear-up at the base, a short shuttle to the put-in, a concise safety and paddling briefing, then a lively downhill on tubes (or a raft if the Brembo runs high). The run alternates sunlit pools and short energetic rapids, with a guide in a kayak shadowing the group and keeping the pace safe and social.
