The Pollino Park is a paradise for outdoor activities: hiking, mountain bike or e-bike tours, rafting, canyoning, stand up paddle, kayak, pack raft, tubing, walks, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, birdwatching and more.

The Lao River is not the same everywhere: each section has its own particularity, where you can do different activities. Along the first stretch, it is possible to do River Walking and combine it with Rafting Fun Trip; in this section, in addition to rafting you can also do Stand Up Paddle, Kayak, Pack Raft, Tubing. In the canyon section you can do rafting instead.

You will find b&b in the little villages, family-run farmhouses, scattered hotels (hotels with rooms scattered in the historic centers of the villages: this is a recent solution to avoid depopulation of many empty houses of the villages that come back to life). At the River Tribe base, you can live the experience of sleeping in Tentsile, suspended tree tents, in classic camping tents near the river, or in our new Glamping area.

Inside the Pollino National Park you can eat in a divine way! The area remained authentic like dishes served. All products are biological and prepared with ancient recipes. Most of the restaurants are family run and often you can find a grandmother in the kitchen preparing one of her specialties. We recommend a selection of quality facilities that are part of COOPTAA consortium.

We are lucky, Lao is the only Italian river navigable all year round. The best time to go rafting on the Lao River is from spring to autumn.

Pollino Park is a wild territory and according to the season it’s important to dress appropriately. River Tribe provides all necessary equipment for the river activities, shoes included. Swimsuit and the necessary to take a shower are recommended.

Safety always comes first! It is possible, except under adverse conditions, when we’ll cancel activities for safety reasons.
