Bergamo sits where the Po plain meets the foothills of the Alps, so within minutes of the city you can be wading through cold mountain water or paddling a quiet river. The Brembana Valley is the local playground for water-based adventure, and you can join the River Trekking in Brembana Valley: Adrenaline-Fueled Adventure in Nature or the Adrenaline River Trekking in Brembana Valley: Jump, Dive & Swim! for a guided half-day in the water. If you prefer a calmer pace, the Kayak Trip on Adda River North Park: Explore Lombardy's Nature trades jumps for steady strokes through a protected river park.
