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.

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.
