First and foremost: a strong desire to have an unforgettable day! And then, this short list to make sure you have everything you need for your Sella descent.
What do you need to bring?
- Swimsuit or clothes that can get wet; avoid cotton, which takes a long time to dry.
- Wear footwear that fits snugly and can get wet (closed sandals or water shoes). Open sandals will slip off in the water and offer no protection from the pebbles.
- T-shirt to protect you from the sun
- Sunscreen and sunglasses tied together with tape
- Hat and towel to dry off or sit on the shore
- Dry clothes to change into when you finish
- For cool days (spring and autumn), a raincoat or light windbreaker.
- Food and drink for the day (must fit in the approximately 24L watertight container)
- Cash for the beach bars along the Sella
- Mobile phone for taking photos, protected in the watertight container
