Centro Canoa Rafting Monrosa

Rafting

It is a funny and exciting group sport. It is based on the descent of the river on rafts fit for 6/7 people plus the Guide.

Everybody who can swim can experience the emotion of the river descent. Before boarding the instructor gives information about the basic manoeuvres and safety measures. A first lesson is given ashore followed by a second one in still water, so that every participant can face the descent in safety.

Our Centre provides all necessary outfit and technical equipment.

Monrosa Centre is approved by F.I.Raft. and only qualified instructors operate in the Centre.

The ideal season to practice rafting is from April to September: thanks to the technical outfit (wetsuit, water jacket, lifejacket, helmet) a thermal protection is always ensured. Sometimes it is even more fun when it rains!
