10 days of classic whitewater in the Alps
Kilian Ivelic recently wrapped up a 10-day kayaking trip through the heart of the Alps, exploring some of Northern Italy and Southern Switzerland’s most iconic runs.
In Italy’s Valsesia region, the crew hit standout sections like the Sorba top slides, Sesia Alpine Sprint, Egua, Sermenza, Sermenzino, and Mastallone, while also scouting rivers like Soana and Strona.
Crossing into Switzerland’s Ticino region, they found solid flows on the Verzasca (medium-high) and the Ribo (lower section), rounding out the trip with smooth lines and alpine scenery.
Short but packed with quality, the mission showcased why Valsesia and Ticino remain top-tier spring destinations for whitewater paddlers in Europe.
