Para esquiar ya no necesitas nieve ni montaña. Esta vez podrás hacerlo en un pantano de la provincia de León. ¿Suena bien verdad?, pues estás un paso más cerca de disfrutar durante 3 horas de un curso de iniciación al esquí acuático en la que podrás dar tus primeros pasos en esta disciplina y perfeccionar tu técnica. El lugar donde practicamos esquí acuático es el Pantano Barrios de Luna, un emplazamiento idóneo, rodeado de pequeñas montañas llenas de vegetación y con un gran puente que cruza el brazo principal del embalse. Este popular deporte consiste en avanzar por el agua sobre unos esquís y agarrado al palomier, una cuerda cuyo extremo opuesto va sujeto a un sistema motorizado de poleas o bien a una lancha o moto de agua. Todo cuanto necesitas es traer el bañador y un mínimo de reflejos. Uno de nuestros instructores os dará un briefing explicando las normas de seguridad más básicas y os acompañará durante la experiencia. La idea es que puedas sacar el máximo partido al esquí acuático durante estas clases y sientas toda la emoción y adrenalina inherentes a este deporte. Todo ello en un entorno rural mágico que te cautivará. ¡Ven a vernos a Riofrio de Órbigo y atrévete a esquiar por un pantano a velocidades de vértigo! Edades comprendidas entre los 10 y 60 años.
