Torrentismo e rafting in Umbria
Durata minimo 2 giorni max 4 giorni (Difficoltà media-medioalta)
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. Le lezioni si svolgono nel lago di Piediluco dove c’è un'altra sede del Centro. Le attrezzature specifiche possono essere fornite in loco.
