Pack raft
A packraft is an ultralight (2-3 kg) inflatable kayak for one person that can be carried in a backpack during mountain excursions. This feature makes it perfect for adventures that combine trekking and river descents , opening up endless exploration possibilities. Before each descent, you'll receive a comprehensive briefing on land and in calm water to learn paddling, steering, and self-rescue techniques. Our Center provides all the necessary technical equipment: packraft, paddle, wetsuit, life jacket, and helmet. The ideal season for packrafting in Valsesia is from April to September . With the right technical equipment, you can enjoy this activity in any weather! Duration

Frequent questions - Pack raft
Yes, rain doesn't prevent you from enjoying the experience on the water and can make the activity even more fun and unique. The trip is cancelled or modified only when weather or river conditions make it unsafe. The Monrosa Rafting center will then contact you to arrange any changes to dates, times, or refunds.
No, no previous experience is necessary; in fact, the activities are designed for even first-time river rafters. Before departure, you'll attend a briefing where the guides will provide you with all the necessary instructions for a safe descent.
Rock shoes aren't the best choice for river walking because their soles are too flexible and don't provide adequate foot protection. Closed shoes with rigid soles, such as sneakers, are better.
For safety reasons, bringing personal items during the activity is prohibited, and electronic devices may get wet or lost. We offer professional photography services or waterproof action camera rentals. Photos will be available for purchase at the end of the activity.
The appointment is at our center at the agreed-upon time. It's not necessary to arrive early, but we ask that you arrive on time. If you'd like to arrive earlier, you're always welcome. We're located in a beautiful, large green area on the banks of the Sesia River, and we have a café waiting to help you while you wait.
Don't worry: we're available to accommodate your needs and, when possible, we can consider date changes or reservation modifications to allow you to participate at a later time. If you wish to permanently cancel your reservation, please review our cancellation policy for full terms and conditions.
No, packrafting is an individual activity. If you want to try this adventure with a friend or partner, then we recommend minirafting!
Packrafts and minirafts are very stable inflatable canoes and, unlike traditional kayaks, don't require any special technique to navigate a river. Kayaking requires technique and experience, so before you can even tackle the classic stretch of the Sesia, you'll need a series of practical lessons. If you're looking for a fun activity that can also be enjoyed as a couple, then minirafting is the perfect option. If you want to get as close as possible to the thrill of kayaking, a solo packraft is the perfect option!
