X Raft - Val di Sole is a river-activity operator based in Mezzana, Trentino-Alto-Adige, featured on The Adventure Collective. The business offers guided river experiences on the Noce River in Val di Sole, with a focus on rafting and hydrospeed adventures. Available trips include COLORADO SLALOM, a 2.5-hour rafting route on the upper stretch of the Noce River that navigates well-known rapids including the section called il depuratore. Hydrospeed options are offered at two difficulty levels: HYDROSPEED (LIVELLO EASY) delivers an introductory bob fluviale experience with a brief theory lesson followed by river swimming through medium-difficulty rapids; HYDROSPEED (LIVELLO STRONG) is a 2.5-hour, more demanding hydrospeed session intended for participants with prior experience.
Trip summaries advise participants on recommended items: the easy hydrospeed suggests bringing a swimsuit and a synthetic shirt, while the strong hydrospeed notes swimwear, a synthetic t-shirt, shower essentials, and optional knee pads and gloves for added comfort. Trips take place in Val di Sole with meeting points in or near Mezzana. Descriptions emphasize the river sections used, difficulty levels, and expected duration where specified.
