Extreme sports in Valnerina

From Marmore Waterfall along the Black River valley, between two wings of mountains looming sometimes, you feel enveloped also a place rich in history and culture.

A comprehensive tourism system, the circuit Terni - Valnerina able to surprise and give away thousands of opportunities to those who, in a week - end, wants to be reckless and curious, fascinated and captured by art and fantasia:

Climbing in Valnerina
The "head of the old" rock the Rocky Mountain Institute, always looks the villages of Precept and rolling pin bar the long valley where they still nest in rare families, owls, eagles and hawks. A little further lies the most important religious settlement of Valnerina: the abbey of San Pietro in Valle. Below you find the famous and ghostly phenomenon of "mummies": the chemical composition of the soil has mummified the bodies of a cemetery inside the church. And Ferentillo. Here you can climb.

Rafting
The inflatable floats, all are dressed in red and screaming releasing tension and little crazy. From inside there is a sophisticated view of nature, faster, more full and complete. By rafting is very easy to carry, participating with its own active role at the helm, the rapids of the river on a raft air: it starts a few tens of meters from the waterfall Salto Marmore. Clothing, jacket, helmet, six surfers more driving. A quick lesson allows everyone to participate in the run. And within three kilometres away to powerful rapids. Upstream the river is placid and 12 km from Arrone and children can also take down the Black by providing an environment that looks like a movie. It 's the "rafting - soft."

Waterfall Downstream from Marmore Falls, field facilities enabling everyone to learn the slalom canoeing with confidence with teachers enablers.

Trekking
"God is in the details" repeated Le Corbusier. Meet, depart, go, walk, conquer space, step by step, through the ancient pedestrian traffic in the landscape. Try, dare, watch closely. Transform a simple walk into something complete. This is the hiking done well. Only then can you do in Terni, because it's natural, obvious in these places. Tourism is not an invention. Otherwise it all comes down to walk, walk. And then go back. Dozens of nature trails offer runners not only capable of showing the way but also to inform on the "why" of places and environments, a wide range of possibilities for physical characteristics and natural and environmental interests.

Canyoning
A hybrid discipline, including mountain climbing and caving. A total immersion in "heavy" nature  of geological phenomena not yet fully softened by time. A go behind the waterways that make their way in the perennial game that is established between a street and let themselves be led to create, divert, derive. Chasing a result, look for an unexpected situation, go and see. Place names damage the taste experience: Valnerina, Farra del Casco, Farra di Pago le Fosse, Gole di Roccagelli, Fossa del Bagno, Gola del Fosso Campione.

Cycling
Cycling immersed in a wood in direct contact with nature and away from noise and traffic. Climb up some steep trail in the mountains and then enjoy the view, plunge to a technical single track in the forest or enjoy a convenient dirt road between the olive trees or vines going from one village to another.
These are some of the opportunities that Umbria offers mountain bikers, bike versatile with its many opportunities to use is an ideal way for beginners who want to enjoy a Sunday of tranquillity surrounded by nature, is for lovers more motivated than their cars depreciated want to conquer the rugged peaks and address the more technical descents, as well as for tourists who do not like the track and want to visit the area away from traffic and air that only the paths and roads campaign knows propose
