The Sesia River is not only rafting: it is also Hydrospeed, an intense and engaging river activity that lets you descend the rapids lying on your own hydro board, crossing white water directly, dynamically and with great fun.
The activity consists of a guided descent, with a minimum of 2 participants, each equipped with their own hydrospeed board and fins. Valsesia Sport uses latest-generation French hydrospeeds made of expanded material and Italian hydrospeeds made of shock-resistant polyethylene, designed to ensure a smooth and high-performance descent.
The price is per person. A good level of physical fitness is required to ensure safe fun for everyone. The activity is not recommended for people with strong fear of water. Alcohol and drug use is prohibited and the maximum weight per person is 100 kg.
