Canoeing is a way to render tourism "alternative", eco-friendly and it’s also a natural way to ease tensions and to do some exercise. Agility, speed, lightness and low costs make it a unique way to relax the mind and body. The Sesia river, full of lush fauna, with spectacular natural views and plenty of water, was the scene of the World Canoe Championships in 2002 and from May to September it is a popular destination for tourists from all over Europe.
