Dalle alte cime dei Monti Sibillini l’acqua scorre, defluisce in mille rivoli verso la Valnerina attraverso vie sinuose e profonde che nella sua millenaria azione di erosione ha scavato dentro la roccia dando vita a gole e canyon e creando uno scenario incredibile.
In questo ambiente si crea uno scenario unico per il torrentismo anche a medio livello. Le rapide del fiume Nera, sotto la Cascata delle Marmore sono un posto ideale per fare rafting: la fantastica discesa delle rapide in gommone. Qui il fiume Nera scorre veloce per oltre 3 chilometri formando rapide di quarto grado, contornato da una vegetazione rigogliosa in ambiente di tropicale memoria. Inoltre é possibile praticare canoa fluviale; é stata creata la scuola di canoa riconosciuta dalla Federazione Italiana Canoa Kayak. Sono previsti corsi speciali di canoa slalom nell’impianto presente nell’ultimo tratto del percorso del rafting sul Nera.
