The Aniene comes down clean and cold from the Simbruini mountains and passes through Subiaco before continuing towards Tivoli and Rome. The stretch next to the village is run in an inflatable raft with a guide: it is the activity that brings the most people to Subiaco in summer, and the one that turns the visit to the monasteries into a well-rounded day with children.
What you do
Soft rafting is a calm descent of about 5 km, around an hour and a half, designed for families: you do not need to know how to swim and children from age 2 or 3 can go, depending on the adults accompanying them and the time of year. Power rafting, of about two hours, is livelier and calls for confidence in the water. It is run by Vivere l'Aniene, based at Largo Martiri di Cicchetti, 1, in Subiaco, with qualified guides and open all year.
Prices
Soft rafting from €25 per person; power rafting from €39; the centre also offers canyoning from €50 and walking excursions from €13. Book on their website, by phone or WhatsApp (320 968 1006); they call you the day before to confirm.
What to bring
Swimsuit, towel, a change of clothes and shoes that can get wet. The wetsuit, helmet and life jacket are supplied by the centre.
