Why go rafting even when it rains?

Rafting in the rain: a unique experience on the Dora Baltea with Totem Adventure

You have booked your rafting descent on the Dora Baltea and the weather forecast announces rain?
Don't worry: with Totem Adventurefun is guaranteed even when the sky turns grey!
In fact, we can tell you from experience: when it rains, rafting becomes even more exciting.

In the mountains, when the weather changes rapidly, many outdoor activities become difficult or unpleasant - think of a mud walk or a bike ride under water. On the river, however, you are already in your natural element: water above, water below... and a smile that never leaves you.

We of Totem Adventure we live on and navigate the Dora Baltea for more than 33 yearsin the heart of the Aosta Valleyand we know every bend, every swift, every wave of our river. That is why we can say it with certainty: rafting in the rain is not only possible, it is also beautiful.

Why go rafting even when it rains?

• You still get wetWhether the sun is shining or the rain is falling, rafting is a total water experience.

• A particular rafter-river connection that makes you look like a

  one with white water.

• Zero stress, only emotionsWith our technical equipment, you always stay warm and protected.

Equipment and safety first

You don't have to worry about anything: Totem Adventure provides all the necessary equipment for your safe descent - wetsuit, water jacket, helmet and life jacket.
If the temperatures are low, we only advise you to bring a technical or thermal shirt to put on under your wetsuit, just as you would for a day's skiing.
For the rest, we take care of everything: our many years of experience and our certified guides guarantee maximum safety in all conditions.

The golden rule of Totem Adventure

La rain is never a problem, but neither is it underestimated. Every day we check carefully:

• the weather forecasts,

• i river levels,

• and especially the expert opinion of our guides.

The decision is simple:

• If the conditions are safe, you go down.

• If indeed the weather is exceptional or the water level too high, one postpones descent.

And do you know what the truth is? In over thirty years of activity we have cancelled once for rain. Not because we want to be heroes, but because we know our river intimately and we know when it is time to have fun... and when to wait.
