The tributaries of the Sesia also offer various navigable stretches, although the difficulty can increase in some cases.
The Valsesia is not only a place to practice river sports; it is also a system rich in biodiversity. Participating in these activities offers the opportunity to appreciate the natural beauty of the "greenest valley in Italy", as well as the stunning rock outcrops of the so-called Sesia Supervolcano that rise in this area, recognized by UNESCO as a Global Geopark.
The ideal period for practicing river sports goes from spring, when the best conditions in terms of water flow are experienced, to September. Navigating the river is also an alternative experience in case of bad weather: in suitable river conditions, it is indeed possible to practice this activity safely by relying on the local river centers.
You can consult the map of river sports on the Local Tourist Agency's website.
Before venturing out alone on the river, check for ongoing works with the relevant municipal offices.
