Why a rafting vacation on the Dora Baltea is Italy's best kept secret
Nestled in the Italian Alps beneath the shadow of Mont Blanc is the incredible Dora Baltea River. The watershed drains the crest of the Alps from Gran Paradiso in the south to the glaciers on the Crest of the Alps near Monte Bianco in the west, to the Matterhorn on the Swiss border in the north of the region known as the Aosta Valley. The river is a combination of snow and glacial melt shifting from crystal blue waters in the spring to deep turquoise in the late summer and fall. Numerous short Class II to Class V sections are nestled in this amazing valley. Rapids are a great mix of big water features and technical gorges at lower water. The river is also very continuous in nature and guides have a strong emphasis on teamwork and safety boaters.
