Sports in Open Space

Sports in Open Space is a project born from the passion for river sports of Martino Frova and his staff.

Our operational headquarters is located in Marsaglia, with an enviable view of the river and a perfect logistical location for carrying out all the following activities:

• Kayak
• Rafting
• Canyoning

We have changing rooms, hot showers, restaurant and accommodation services. You can come and have fun with your family, friends or work colleagues for a day or for longer stays, taking advantage of well-structured sports programs for all tastes.

With Sports in Open Space Kayak you can experience the wonderful sensation of descending the course of a river and immersing yourself in a world of enchanting and unique landscapes.

Our program offers:

• Descents in a Sit On Top Kayak on the Trebbia river - an experience within everyone's reach, you just need to know how to swim; Sit on top kayaks are easy to steer boats so a short introductory lesson is enough to be able to descend a stretch of river
• Descents in Pneumatic Canadian Canoe (HotDog) - river descents on 2 or 3-seater pneumatic Canadian canoes; beginner-friendly experience; a short lesson on driving pneumatic boats is sufficient to descend the Trebbia river in the gorge between Marsaglia and Bobbio
• Kayak School - private and group courses for beginners and non-beginners; the courses include moments of theory on dry land and moments of practical learning of techniques in the water
• River Trip (weekend trip on the river) - 2-day descent of a section of the Trebbia with overnight stay in a tent camp on the banks of the river

Sports in Open Space Kayak provides all the technical clothing and equipment needed for descents and lessons (wetsuit, water jacket, helmet, life jacket and shuttle service).< /p>

The only essential requirement to participate in the activities is knowing how to swim well!

Would you like to experience the thrill of lowering yourself down a waterfall, having fun with water games including dives and slides as if you were in a natural aquafun? With Sports in Open Space Canyoning you can experience breathtaking emotions in the company of friends and family, always accompanied by qualified guides and instructors.

To really understand how much fun canyoning is you need to try at least once to slide through the beautiful gorges that the water has carved out over the centuries with its continuous passage.

We offer a series of descents of the most evocative and fun canyons of the Trebbia valley, with different levels of difficulty:

• Spity Gonzales - half-day descent suitable for beginners, simple but of great impact thanks to the numerous dives, slides and two waterfalls of 18 and 10 m
• Mezzo Buccia - half-day descent suitable for beginners, three high differences in altitude, two in descent and one in a very long and super vertical slide
• Banana peel - intermediate level route lasting a day in a slippery canyon and particularly exciting for the very long toboggan that meets halfway down and for the 7 waterfalls from 7 to 20 meters
• Halv Malv - intermediate level also for this one-day descent characterized by a greater flow of river water, by technical passages and by the strong difference in altitude inside the wooded gorge of the Rio dei Ghiacci, with the highest waterfall that has a difference in height of approximately 30 m

For those interested, we also organize group canyoning courses which include dry theory moments, wall exercises and canyon descents.

Sports in Open Space Canyoning also offers descents in the Alps between Italy and France; the formula chosen for these cross-border routes is that of a short trip made up of 3 stages in 3 days.

We are at your disposal if you wish to contact us and find out more, we are waiting for you!

Sports in Open Space Rafting is the answer for all those who wish to try the experience of descending a river on a dinghy in the company of friends and an expert guide who directs the crew (a initial briefing will clarify in a few minutes how to correctly execute the commands).

The descents are organized from April until the river level allows it and, in addition to the daily outings, we offer splendid weekend trips on the river (River Trip) which consist of 2 days of descent on the Trebbia with overnight stay in a tent camp on the banks of the river.

Clothing, equipment and shuttle service are made available to participants by Sports in Open Space Rafting.
