The full Extreme & Wet catalogue in seven days — glacier-fed rivers, waterfall canyons, an alpine lake paddle and an iron route on Piedmontese rock. One discipline a day, rotating small groups, recovery afternoons at the villa. Guides rotate with the activity; the villa host stays constant. The pace is deliberately varied — a hard water day followed by a technical rock day, with a full recovery day mid-week.
- ◆Whitewater rafting — one full day on the Sesia, Class III with an optional Class IV lower section
- ◆Canyoning — one Val Sesia canyon: abseils, slides and jumps in a granite gorge
- ◆Kayaking — a progression day on Lake Orta with an optional moving-water session on the lower Sesia
- ◆Via ferrata — a classic Piedmontese ferrata with cables, ladders and a refuge lunch
- ◆IFMGA / river-guide certified instructors on every activity
- ◆All technical equipment for every discipline — wetsuits, helmets, PFDs, harnesses, lanyards
- ◆Two in-house massage sessions during the week
- ◆Villa base with pool, wood-fired sauna and vineyard dinners
