A spectacular alpine descent divided into two parts, Rio Rasiga is located in the valley of 100 waterfalls: the Bognanco Valley. The first part of the route is characterised by a strong flow with plenty of jumps and slides, whilst the second part includes beautiful meanders dug into the granite. On the whole, the Rio Rasiga offers an unmissable descent, despite the icy water. A long and tiring route, highly challenging.
