    The tour begins in the town of Brivio, an ideal boarding point along the tranquil banks of the Adda River. The boat tour takes place within the Adda Nord Park nature reserve, offering a complete immersion in the river’s flora and fauna.

    Author’s recommendation

    On the way out, stay closer to the banks where the current is slower to conserve energy. On the way back, stay in the middle of the river to take full advantage of the current’s thrust.

    At Airuno, there’s a small sandbar where you can dock and enjoy a meal surrounded by the Adda Park.

    Safety information

    Take note of the vegetation along the entire route and the various trees emerging from the water along the way. The only challenge is the pace required to travel upstream against the current. The water flow rate on the day of the trip was 130 m³/s.

    Tips and suggestions

    In this stretch, the river is calm and steady. The current, while noticeable, is constant and has no treacherous rapids. It’s the ideal stretch for paddling with a steady stroke, maintaining a smooth course close to the wooded banks, where the current is slightly gentler.

    Roadbook

    Continue along State Route SS342 to Brivio; once you enter the town, head toward the center, where you'll find several parking lots. One is located right on the riverbank after you cross a small bridge.

    Equipment

    Double paddle, life jacket, waterproof bag for your cell phone and keys, and neoprene shoes for getting off the kayak at Airuno. I recommend bringing a rope to tie up the kayak in the shallows at Airuno.
