Full description

Thinking back to your childhood, the nursery rhyme of San Martino Campanaro will certainly come to mind.

Perhaps you don't know that this story originates (literally) from the waters of Lake Viverone, the main stage of our 1-hour horseback ride to discover the Palafitte di Azeglio.

Let our equestrian guide lead you through wooded paths to the lake shore and let yourself be enchanted, once again, by the legend of the bells of the sunken village!

What we will do

I will be waiting for you at the selected time at the meeting point in Azeglio (TO). You will recognise me, I will be in the company of my beloved horses!

The experience will begin with a short briefing during which, as an equestrian guide, I will explain the basics of horse riding. We will then be ready to saddle up and set off along the tarmac road out of the riding stables. After a while, we will venture onto a dirt track and then into the forest, where we will meet the pair of Loving Trees: two shrubs that join together, rising to the sky in an embrace.

Accompanied on the horizon by the hills of Viverone, Alice Castello and Anzasco, we will reach Lake Viverone. Legend has it that its waters guard a sunken village, whose bells can be heard when the wind blows from the Aosta Valley; yes, it is indeed the village of the nursery rhyme San Martino Campanaro!

Also located here are the Azeglio Pile-Dwellings: we will come across an ancient pile-dwelling village dating back to the Bronze Age, consisting of no less than 5,000 piles driven into the ground that have come down to us.

We will then return to the meeting point, for a total experience of 1 hour.
