An exciting descent riding a floating bob equipped with flippers. It doesn't require any other specific ability but a good familiarity with water.
Sesia offers every element necessary for a thrilling ride by hydrobob: clear water, inspiring landscape and sparkling but not dangerous rapids. The outfit supplied by the Centre ensures correct thermal protection.
Partecipants can choose between a daily descent or 2 or more days courses. Groups are made of max 6 people plus the instructor who, before starting, explains the basic manoeuvres.
Tracks
The time required for every itinerary is about 4 hours (about 2 into the water) including: registration, dressing up, theoretical lesson ashore, trials in water and transport on mini-buses.
N.B. The choice of the itinerary depends on the water level.
