The raft slips into the Inn like a confederate of current and cold air; the river pushes forward, playful and exacting. You launch a few kilometres above the village of Scuol and, over roughly nine kilometres, the Inn alternates between riffled playground and stern, technical drops. The run’s opening rapids—Frenchman’s, the ‘happy snappa’ and ‘locomotive’—wake everyone up; later sections, including ‘Galaxy’ and ‘Jack the Ripper’, demand quick paddling and steady balance before the water pools into Pradella where the take-out waits.

Layer for cold water

Store phone, cash and a spare layer in a watertight pouch left on the shuttle vehicle before launch.
