Trip procedure:
We will meet you at our base in Stazione Osogna Cresciano, a former railway station. Here, our guides will welcome you. You will receive information about the trip and your white water equipment. Then we will go to our put-in, where the guides will give detailed safety and paddle instructions – then you will go onto the water! Get familiar with your boat (and you paddle partner/s), learn how to paddle and navigate the canoes, and what to do if you fall into the water… Now you are ready to go!
Your canoe trip will lead you through the impressive Leventina Valley. The current will carry you through the green of the trees and the yellow-white of the sandy beaches. Enjoy the water and the warmth of the Ticino sun… We will end the trip in Arbedo, Bellinzona, shortly behind the confluence of the Ticino and the Moesa. Your dry clothes as well as a happy landing apero await you at our take-out location.
