Full description
You still don't know what miaccia is. But we know you won't be able to do without it.
Take part in our horseback ride in the province of Vercelli: in the company of an equestrian guide you will venture into the splendid natural scenery of Valsesia, framed by the mountains.
And on your return, toast with an aperitif of local products!
What we will do
The appointment is 10 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in the locality of Rusa, in the municipality of Campertogno (VC) . On site we will meet the equestrian guide who will accompany us on this adventure!
Having gathered all the participants, we will meet the horses and proceed with the assignment of the steed. We will get to know our companion by stroking and brushing him or her. Afterwards, we will mount and learn the basics of riding; the guide will provide all the necessary information for a carefree experience. This part lasts approximately 30 minutes.
And here we are ready for our horseback ride: we will ride along a forest track that alternates between lush forests and wide meadows, following the course of the Sesia river. Our adventure will be framed by the mountains of Valsesia, which will accompany us the entire way! The horseback ride lasts 1 or 2 hours, depending on the option selected at the time of booking.
We will then return to the meeting point where an aperitif of local products will be waiting for us: miacce (a typical baked product) , cold meats, cheese and other delicacies; an alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink to accompany it.
The experience lasts a total of 2 or 3 hours, depending on the selected duration of the horseback ride.
