The Garfagnana is considered to be one of the most fascinating areas in the entire region and it is a true paradise for those who wish to engage in a water sport. Rafters are drawn to the Lima torrent for the force of its waters. Between the Apuan Alps and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, along the course of the river Serchio, there is a wide valley whose slopes go right down to the river from the mountain peaks.
Share the same mission…descend the powerful waters together as a crew!
The following services may be included:
Descents with pneumatic boats, hydrospeed, kayak, canoe along the Serchio river and Lima torrent; canyoning in the gorges of Controneria; construction of a raft by the team; crossing of torrents; welcome served with refreshments in an old mill and a light buffet along the river banks.
You will attend a training course during which your guide will teach you how to paddle and all the key commands: left, right, stop, weight to the left or right - this latter command meaning everyone should jump to one side of the raft in order to oppose stronger currents. No need to worry about your safety as you will be handed a wetsuit, neoprene shoes, a life jacket, a helmet and a paddle.
The ride is very exciting as the Lima torrent is very narrow and the rapids can be extremely powerful. By the end of the ride, you will feel you have mastered all the commands and you will be ready to enjoy a light snack to restore your energy levels!
