The river takes over immediately: cool spray, a paddle stroke, and the Noce’s current pulling a family-sized raft down a corridor of limestone walls and alpine forest. You push off from Cusiano beneath San Michele Castle, listen to a brief safety talk, then practice a few dry strokes before the river eases you into its rhythm.

The river takes over immediately: cool spray, a paddle stroke, and the Noce’s current pulling a family-sized raft down a corridor of limestone walls and alpine forest. You push off from Cusiano beneath San Michele Castle, listen to a brief safety talk, then practice a few dry strokes before the river eases you into its rhythm.
The Noce is the spine of Val di Sole, born from the high peaks of Mount Cevedale inside Stelvio National Park and carved through glacial geology that leaves steep banks, cobbled channels, and sudden rapids. Locals prize this section as one of Europe’s premier rafting rivers — the descent threads cultural villages like Commezzadura and Dimaro, where mountain farming and seasonal tourism have shaped valley life for generations.
Expect a two-hour guided descent that builds from calm learning stretches to the adrenaline of Mezzana’s Class IV rapids, then a gentler float toward Piano di Commezzadura. The operation provides 3-mm wetsuits, spray jackets, helmets, buoyancy aids and paddles; all equipment is cleaned after each trip. Children from five years old can join, with supervised transfers for ages 5–13 on the more intense middle section. Maximum participant weight is 120 kg; meet 45 minutes before departure.
Practical tips: wear secure river shoes and a synthetic shirt under your wetsuit, stow phones in waterproof cases, and hydrate before boarding. Morning runs are cooler and often less crowded; choose later slots for stronger sunlight and warmer water. Guides manage safety and technique, so even first-timers with basic swimming comfort can focus on the river’s push and the valley’s views.
Children from 5 years old can participate; children aged 5–13 are transported by staff around the most demanding middle section and rejoin downstream.
