MORE AUTONOMY, MORE ADVENTURE
With the packraft you can learn to move among the rapids of the river Sesia in complete autonomy compared to rafting. It ensures stability and safety in moving water and current conditions, making you master of your movements and your adventure.
WHAT IS THE PACKRAFT?
The Packraft was born in North America and is a boat very similar to rafting, but smaller, lighter and more maneuverable. It can be easily carried in a backpack when deflated. It is usually used by those who want to do both trekking in the mountains and running the river for several days.
The packraft needs a technique very similar to kayaking, but by being more stable and maneuverable, it allows a faster learning of river navigation.
It is a boat very suitable for periods of the year with reduced river flow (for example, full summer), thanks to their size and particular maneuverability.
CLASSIC PACKRAFTING
IDEAL FOR FIRST EXPERIENCES
The descent will take place on the easier sections of the river Sesia to allow you to learn the basic technique and conduct of the boat in current.
The lesson is structured in two parts: in the first part theoretical insights of the basic technique will be addressed in flat water and light current, in the second instead you will immediately start to face the rapids of the river Sesia.
A qualified and experienced guide will follow you by kayaking indicating the best path and assisting you in the most challenging steps.
PACKRAFTING EXPERT
FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE OF WHITEWATER
The descent will take place on more challenging sections than the classic ones. The goal will be to test you so you can learn to tame the rapids even faster harder than those faced previously.
The river section will be chosen according to the technical preparation of the participants and the river levels in the period of interest.
To be able to face this descent it is important to have a good knowledge of the basics of packrafting.
