Spring rafting on the Koiva and Chusovaya rivers from Bisera station

The Koiva River, known for its fast current, becomes very active and turbulent in the spring. It has gates and thresholds. 

At the beginning of its journey, the Koiva is a mountain river with a fast current, but in the middle it becomes more calm and measured. But before flowing into Chusovaya, she shows her character again, escorting tourists through new rapids, following one another. 

But the Chusovaya River welcomes its guests with calm and measured waters. This is one of the most beautiful rivers in the Perm Region with a rich nature and history. Picturesque cliffs and other natural monuments are constantly found here.

    Everything was wonderful, the food, the organization of all the events, and the guides, who were both knowledgeable and upbeat. I truly enjoyed every part of the experience. Even the weather treated us kindly, with a perfect mix of sunshine and clouds. But as the saying goes, there's no such thing as bad weather, only a bad mood, and the mood on this trip was always at its best!!!
