The rafting descent starts near the characteristic fortification camouflaged in the bed of the Tagliamento River called 'Lo Squalo'. The guides of the Friuli Kayak School They will then accompany the participants on the crystal-clear waters of the Tagliamento in the area between Portis and Pioverno, where we will encounter (and play with the waves) the characteristic cyclopean boulders in the riverbed.
Surrounded by the majestic mountains of the area we will pass the confluence with the Venzonassa and the Pioverno footbridge and experience the thrill of tackling small rapids along the right bank of the river.
The final part will alternate between calmer and more eventful stretches, until reaching the swift current that flows into the emerald-coloured lake at the Ospedaletto water intake where the experience will end.
