River Trekking in Brembana Valley

Wade, jump and swim through the Brembana Valley's alpine waterway over three and a half hours. This river trekking experience strips away the technical gear of canyoning—no harnesses or ropes needed—leaving you free to navigate natural pools and stream sections at your own pace.

A two-day expedition combining paddling and water-based adventure in Italy's gorges.
