The raft bounces, water hisses past the hull and the Noce, no longer a picture but an active partner, slides you forward. Guides issue crisp commands—paddle, lean, watch the left rock—while children shout with the kind of surprised glee that turns cold mountain water into something electric. For about 75–90 minutes the river does what rivers do best: it dares you, slows, then pushes, delivering a readable mix of playful rapids and slow pools with the Brenta Dolomites riding the skyline like a folded stone wall.

Arrive early for kit-up
Plan to be at the meeting point 45 minutes before departure to get fitted with wetsuit, helmet and life jacket and complete the safety briefing.
Shoes that can get wet
Wear sturdy water shoes or old sneakers with good grip—flip-flops won’t stay on in rapids and can be hazardous.
Protect electronics
Use a waterproof phone case or dry bag; most operators will take photos, but handheld shots on the river risk loss.
Hydrate and sun-protect
Even with cold water, exertion and sun at altitude can dehydrate; bring water and apply reef-safe sunscreen before launch.
Water shoes or old sneakers
Secure, quick-drying footwear protects feet in rapids and on rocky entry/exit points.
