Unlike all other Italian waterways, the Dora Baltea is characterized by a nivo-glacial regime. This allows it to maintain a very high flow rate, especially during the summer. Consequently, the more than twenty kilometers that can be traveled by rafting are characterized by imposing waves and rapids, known throughout Europe especially by kayaking enthusiasts. The sections between Pré-Saint-Didier and Aymavilles stand out in particular.

Brenta river

Veneto

The Brenta River originates from Lake Caldonazzo and Levico in Trentino and, flowing between the Grappa massif to the east and the plateau of the seven municipalities to the west, flows into the Adriatic Sea. The navigation, dynamic and adventurous in some sections, leaves room for moments of relaxation in which to contemplate the magnificent natural landscapes of the Valbrenta. In Valstagna the presence of the training camp for canoe slalom should be emphasized, home to a sports group in which many champions have formed, including Daniele Molmenti, London 2012 Olympic Champion.
