Canoeing & kayaking

Have you ever paddled in the lively waters of the Noce River or explored the gorges carved by the Novella stream? If the answer is no, you absolutely must! The spirited waters of the Noce River, with their vivacity, guarantee an adrenaline-packed and fun-filled descent aboard a river canoe. If, on the other hand, you prefer to explore more calmly and enjoy the thrill of discovering stories of unknown places, you can't miss a kayak trip through the gorges of the Novella.

A thrill ride

Canoeing on the river

Among river sports, canoeing is the sport that requires the most commitment, perseverance, and time. The effort to learn paddling and maneuvering techniques is repaid by the adrenaline of descending through the river's rapids, during which you decide trajectories, movements, and reaction times to the current.
The Noce River is very well suited for canoeing and kayaking. In 1993, the Val di Sole hosted the Canoe-Kayak World Championships for downhill and slalom. Another recognition at the international level came from 'Kayaking Holidays', the portal dedicated to the world of canoeing, which ranked the Noce among the top ten rivers in the world for kayaking.

What do you need?

The necessary equipment will be provided by the rafting centers you will contact for the descent, in particular, you will be given kayak/canoe, paddle, wetsuit, spray skirt, life jacket, helmet, and water jacket. You just need to wear comfortable shoes and bring a towel, a change of clothes, and a lot of desire to have fun

WILD GORGES ON THE RIVER NOvella

If you prefer the curiosity of discovering new places from a different perspective, but still in close contact with the water, then kayaking is the perfect choice for you. Kayaking can be practiced in particularly calm stretches of river or in bodies of water where you can enjoy a relaxing paddle to admire the landscape from an unusual perspective.
One of the most fascinating places to kayak is certainly Lake Santa Giustina among the gorges carved by the Novella stream. It's a wild canyon that you can only explore aboard a simple kayak, where, between one paddle stroke and another, you can explore this 3 km long and 50 meters deep gorge!

What do you need?
