Kayaking in the Novella Gorge

A canoe trip through the Novella Gorge in Val di Non Trentino is a unique experience within everyone's reach.

Immerse yourself in an unparalleled adventure exploring the picturesque Novella Gorge in the picturesque Val di Non, an unforgettable experience guided by the expert guides of Ursus Adventures.

The guided kayak tour inside the Novella River Park takes place in Trentino in the magnificent Val di Non and winds through canyons more than 50 metres high, carved out over the centuries by the Novella torrent.

The route starts at the brand new Plaze di Dermulo beach, equipped with changing rooms, bars, toilets and ample parking. After the handover of your equipment and a short safety briefing, our guides will transport you by motor boat to the mouth of the canyon where you will enter in a kayak, assisted by qualified personnel.

Ursus Adventures is the only centre that offers you this type of service, transforming a practical solution into a true immersive experience. You will be able to admire the extraordinary view of the Brenta Dolomites as you are towed through the evocative apple orchards of Val di Non, passing by the magnificent Castel Cles, with the Maddalene group as a backdrop. A 20-minute journey of relaxation and breathtaking views.

The activity begins with a fascinating introduction to the history and natural beauty of this fascinating canyon. The majestic rock walls, sculpted by the elements over centuries, create a unique environment that captures the imagination. With Ursus Adventures' expert guides at your side, you will discover breathtaking views and hidden corners in the Novella River Park. Along the way, the guides will share interesting details about the local flora and fauna, enriching your journey with in-depth knowledge and curiosities

The experience is designed for nature lovers of all ages, offering a unique opportunity to connect with the unspoilt beauty of Val di Non.

Incredible and super safe experience. A corner of paradise still unknown to many but certainly evocative. Very exciting guided kayak excursion, particularly suitable for couples and families, even with small children (from 5 years of age).

Accompanied by an expert instructor, you will enjoy an adventure experience, immersed in the fascinating and wild Novella gorges in Val di Non, visible in their entirety only from the lake.

The canoe trip through the Novella gorges in Trentino with Ursus Adventures does not require a great deal of physical effort, as a large part of the approach is done towed by motor boat. The duration of the experience including theory lesson, equipment handover, towing, canoe tour and return is a good three hours.

The price of this incredible adventure is euro 70 for adults and euro 50 for children under 18. Discounts are available for groups of more than 10 people, schools and the disabled.

Lake St Justina is an artificial lake that has significant fluctuations in its level. There are 2 canyons that can be visited through this experience. Sometimes the condition of the lake or the deposit of debris prevents both from being seen. The experience enjoyed does not change in its essence … it will still be amazing!

The activity will be carried out mainly with double canoes. An attempt will be made as far as possible to keep families together, but there is the possibility, in the event of odd numbers, to go up with other people or in a single canoe. The guide has the authority to divide members of the same group on the canoe in order to make the experience safer and more enjoyable.

It is a real top experience to take home in your memory book.

The excursion is designed to be safe and accessible to all, allowing families, friends and nature lovers to fully enjoy the adventure. Let Ursus Adventures guide you through the Novella Gorge and enjoy an experience that will remain etched in your memory, an authentic encounter with the unspoilt nature of the Val di Non.
