Canoeing
CST provides opportunities for canoeing on Lake Maggiore and on the Ticino and Moesa rivers. Groups are advised to take at least three two-and-a-half-hour lessons over a period of a week to acquire the necessary skills and familiarity with the craft.
The available equipment meets all needs: lake kayaks, river kayaks, Canadian canoes, “sit-on-top” canoes (unsinkable), paddles, life jackets, wetsuit jackets and neoprene shoes, helmets. Groups engaging in activities outside CST can request a minibus and a canoe trailer.
Safety
Y+S courses must take place under the supervision of qualified and recognized Y+S instructors with a valid lifesaving qualification recognized by the the Swiss Lifesaving Association. Groups may comprise a maximum of 12 people for canoe tours on the lake and a maximum of 6 people for canoe trips on the river. If necessary, groups can contact Sisport Sagl to book qualified instructors. The recommended minimum age to practice this discipline is 10 years.
