EN More than just a school trip!
A well-run river experience can be much more than a simple sporting activity.
Our school programmes combine adventure, nature and learning, engaging students in activities that encourage teamwork, trust, respect for rules and curiosity about the world around them.
Monrosa Rafting has been organising educational outings and school trips on the river for over thirty years, with particular attention to safety, engagement and the educational value of the experience.
Our base is in Balmuccia (VC), in a large green area on the banks of the Sesia river, easily reached from Milan, Turin and the whole of North-West Italy.
Educational Goals
Introducing young people to sport in a natural setting, fostering knowledge of and respect for the environment
Team Spirit
Strengthening bonds between classmates, built on trust, responsibility and cooperation.
Personal Growth
Improving emotional control, boosting self-esteem and building character.

🏆 Monrosa Rafting Games
Every year in mid-May, Monrosa Rafting hosts a major event for high schools. Hundreds of students come together to race each other, stroke for stroke, through the rapids of the Sesia!
The race takes place during a classic descent, with a short stretch of about 600 m being timed, so that even students who are new to rafting can give it their all. Each crew, made up of a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 7 people, is accompanied by one of our instructors, both on the race section and for the rest of the descent.
