An unforgettable experience

Maurice_H, Jun 2025

This is a tour you must all do. it is sometimes challenging going up that river but Frederico takes great care of you and will show you the ropes. Frederico and his brother Lorenzo were the guides and both were amazing

Secluded Valley

Tina_H, Aug 2020

This is such a unique tour, which correctly requires a good level of fitness and ability to swim and maneuver rocks. Fabienne and Federico are encouraging and awesome guides who love protecting this part of the valley. There are some dare devil activities on the way, however if you dont want to do those the river hike is soooo refreshing on a hot day and enjoyable enough. I especially loved the small Apero after the hike :)

Excellent!

Great walk in the torents with family. Federico is super friendly and available (one of my sons was scared at one point and he helped him patiently). The course itself was quite accessible, with just what it takes to get back into sport when you’ve been neglecting a bit of physical activity in recent years:) The area is beautiful... if I go back there, I will not hesitate to repeat the experience and, in the meantime, I recommend it around me!
