A low, glassy ribbon of water slips between tree-lined banks as the morning light grazes the Vosso. Guides fit life jackets and hand over paddles; the group steps into stable, sit-on-top kayaks and lets the river set the tempo. There are no whitecaps here—just a slow current that carries conversation and the occasional call of a bird.

History

Arrive layered
Mornings on the Vosso can be cool; wear moisture-wicking base layers and a light waterproof shell provided if needed.
Footwear for wet landings
Choose closed, quick-dry shoes or neoprene booties for easy ingress and exits at grassy or rocky banks.
Hydrate and snack
Bring at least 1 litre of water and a small snack—paddling is deceptively steady work and the valley offers few services mid-trip.
Timing for photos
Schedule trips early or late in the day for softer light and calmer water; midday can be brighter but busier on the river.
Quick-dry layering
Light, moisture-wicking layers keep you warm and dry during cooler mornings.
spring
Closed water shoes or neoprene booties
Protect feet during launches and when stepping onto rocky or grassy banks.
summer
Dry bag (small)
Keeps phone, keys and snacks dry during the paddle and short lake crossing.
fall
Sunscreen and sunglasses with strap
Reflective water amplifies UV exposure—secure sunglasses prevent loss while paddling.
