Float and paddle 10 km down the Adda through Valtellina’s terraced vineyards and forested slopes. This half-day rafting trip from Tresenda mixes lively rapids with accessible paddling and local cultural views.

The river arrives with a voice: a steady rush that picks out a rhythm under the wooden bridge at Tresenda. On a cool morning the Adda looks deceptively calm, silver braided through low vineyards and dark, forested slopes. By the time guides clip lifejackets and the rubber boats settle under the first current, that polite voice grows confident — pushing, guiding, daring you to move with it.
