Tips if you are going to do Rafting in Calabria

If you want to go rafting in Calabria, you're in luck because the Pollino National Park is one of the best places in the country for this fun activity. With the heat of southern Italy, you will definitely want to undertake a water sport that's full of adventure when spring arrives and with the advent of the perfect weather.

Rafting in Calabria is a great way to have a good time, even if there aren't many places where you can do it. In any event, you can experience the rapids of Calabrian Rivers, jumps, and waterfalls on the one hand and splendid natural scenery on the other. Why not try it? The mountains that descend sheer to the sea of Calabria will provide you with plenty of excitement and feelings.

If you're wondering if anyone can perform this activity in Calabria, the answer is yes! Everyone including those with no prior experience may participate, whether adults or children because there are mild and shorter routes available. You will be accompanied by a guide certified by the Italian Rafting Federation throughout the journey. The appropriate equipment (wetsuit, helmet, and life jacket) will be made available to you by our Calabrian partner companies. After a brief initial lesson that will provide you with all the necessary information on the activity's safety, you can begin your adventure.

If you're not sure where to start with this activity, we've got some suggestions for you:

Where can you go rafting in Calabria?


In Calabria, the best rafting is done on the Lao river (Cosenza), in the Valle Fiume Lao State Reserve. This location allows you to choose from a variety of sections with varying degrees and characteristics:

• Laino Borgo: Among the several rafting routes available, we recommend those that run from Laino Borgo, at 800 meters above sea level, to Papasidero, at 270 meters above sea level, covering 26 kilometres with duration of 4 hours.

• Lao Gorges: For a classic tour, we propose the Lao Gorges, which are declared world heritage by UNESCO and are ideal for all experience levels. This route starts from the Calabrian village and crosses a succession of II and III level rapids for 8 kilometres.

• Route starting from Papasidero: Starting at 270 meters above sea level, the 8-kilometre journey will take you through the Lao River's waterfalls, eventually reaching Orsomarso, 100 meters above sea level, in one hour. There are milder and shorter paths for children (as young as 8-years-old).

• Starting at the Grotta del Romito (500 meters above sea level) and ascending to Papasidero.

For individuals who are new to rafting, we recommend trying soft rafting or pack rafting, done in a single-seater inflatable boat. This exercise is undeniably a fantastic way to get started with the sport.

You may also choose a picture session to immortalize every moment of your excursion and capture the best moments of this magical experience. Alternatively, offers with an overnight stay, lunch, and/or supper in one of the area's farmhouses are also included in the activity.

You don't have to be concerned about the costs; you won't have to pass out to participate in one of these activities in Calabria. The activities, on the other hand, vary depending on the route. Nonetheless, the offers on our website will specify all of the activity's times and durations. Our recommendation is to undertake one of these adventures is during March to November, even though some routes are perfect for rafting all year round.

So what are you waiting for? A trip on the river in Calabria is the right opportunity for you, your friends, your family and/or your work colleagues to spend a fantastic day full of fun and sport.
