This experience blends adventure, nature, and history in a way few activities can. You will start by rafting through the untouched beauty of the Valnerina, riding the crystal-clear waters of the Nera River, and feeling the thrill of the river beneath you. As you glide downstream, guided by an expert instructor, you will see lush forests, smell fresh scents, and hear the sounds of nature that surround you, offering a deep, serene immersion in the beauty of the Valnerina. Then the journey shifts to an 8 km trek leading to Umbriano, a mysterious ghost town frozen in time, where ancient ruins and a hilltop castle create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else. The day ends with a sunset aperitif overlooking a stunning 360° valley view—an unforgettable mix of adrenaline, discovery, and tranquility that you will absolutely love.

Itinerary

  • Umbriano

    In the green heart of Umbria, where nature is pure and untouched, an unforgettable experience awaits. Your adventure starts in the Valnerina, a slow-paced valley shaped by the river’s rhythm. After a quick briefing, you gear up and hop onto the raft with your group. Guided by an expert, you ride the crystal-clear waters, reading the currents and feeling the thrill of the journey unfold—like stepping into an action scene. As you glide downstream, lush forests, fresh scents, and the sounds of nature surround you, offering a deep, serene immersion in the beauty of the Valnerina. Once in the valley, the adventure shifts to an 8 km trek leading to the ghost town of Umbriano. Here, the ancient castle, with its still intact watchtower, dominates the landscape, perched on the rock and protected by dense vegetation. Abandoned in the 1950s, the village feels frozen in time with its ruins inviting you to imagine the lives and stories once held within these stone walls. At sunset, we pause for an aperitif with the mountains glowing gold and the valley opening in a breathtaking 360° view. With hearts full and eyes still on the horizon, we head home carrying the memory of an unforgettable day.
