WHY THIS HIKE
Trekking and rafting in Valbrenta
In the heart of Valbrenta, a deep valley carved over the centuries by the Brenta River, we will experience a journey that combines trekking, history and river trekking.

The experience
With the Guidders, we will set off on foot along the paths that cross this spectacular valley. We will walk through woods and old mule tracks where tobacco smugglers once passed, men who knew these mountains meter by meter and crossed them in silence between effort and ingenuity.
Then, almost naturally, we will change perspective.
The rafting descent takes about two hours on the river, with a qualified river guide. The cost is an extra €35 and must be paid on site. For rafting, you need to have comfortable clothing that can get wet, including shoes, a towel, clothes, shoes, and spare socks.

River Rafting Adventure!
Then, almost without realizing it, we'll shift perspective. From the trail to the water. We'll enter the river and let the current guide us, experiencing the Brenta from within: a mix of movement, laughter, and a touch of adrenaline. An accessible, safe, and engaging experience that allows you to discover the valley from a completely different point of view.
