White Water Rafting in Valldal
Overview
After some easy training in a safe area, the trip starts with exciting rapids and waves through the first section of the Valldøla. As the river calms, we take our first break on the riverbanks. All guests get the opportunity to swim a fun river rapid. It is a surprising and rewarding experience to feel the power of the river as you safely float through the waves. Once everyone has cooled off enough swimming in the river we continue downstream through high mountains and endless fields of strawberries.
Just over halfway point we pull out and take lunch stop along the river. We light a fire, warm water, and serve a local delicacy, Svele, with local strawberries and cream. A great way to refuel before setting out on the final, and swiftest section of the river. The grade steepens and rapids increase in both number and size.

What To Expect
Valldøla river is perfect for rafting. The exciting rapids with fresh and clear water coming from Reinheimen National Park, are spread out along the entire length of the 11km river. We can promise you excitement, swimming a rapid and not least served a local delicacy. Grading of the lower section of the Valldøla river which we raft, is grade 3. This means a lot of fun, but also calmer parts where you get to enjoy the scenery.
The trip starts at our office, where our welcoming guides will inform you about today’s trip and provide each guest with important rafting equipment: Wetsuits, rafting shoes, helmets, and life jackets. From our office, we will provide a transfer to where the rafting begins. Here the trip leader will give a thorough safety briefing before splitting the group into different boats with their guide and the adventure begins!
