Rafting
Rafting is a sport that promises adventure and challenges as well as the most beautiful natural landscapes. And it is a sport that needs mountains and wild impetuous rivers and, thus, perfectly fits into the Alpine scenery of Europe.
Moreover, it is a sport that promotes team spirit, mutual commitment and unique friendships! A group of 4-12 persons utilizes a raft to navigate a river. Usually it is done on whitewater or such degrees of difficulty to thrill and excite the raft passengers. Safety predominates and personal expertise or the presence of a guide is a must.
Rafting is offered in every Alpine country:
Germany:
in the Upper Allgäu region, Berchtesgadener Land
Austria:
Highly popular are rafting tours on the Lech, one of the few unspoilt rivers in the Alps or on the Inn river (from Imst to Haiming) (pic: rafting in East Tyrol).
Italy:
Enjoy whitewater rafting on South Tyrol’s rivers such as the Rienz, Eisack or Ahr in Val Pusteria; even family rafting is offered on some calm stretches.
Switzerland:
on the Ticino, Sarine, Rhone or Rheuss river
France:
in the region of Provence, e.g. Verdon
Slovenia:
The river Soca guarantees plenty of whitewater action; Krka, Kolpa and other calm-water rivers are ideal for family rafting or excursions over several days.
