Full description
An adventure in the saddle awaits you just a stone's throw fromVarese .
Prepare to ride for 1 hour through woods, streams and trails near the Campo dei Fiori Regional Park, with views of Varese's Sacro Monte and the town lake.
In the company of an equestrian instructor, you will begin your experience in the field to become familiar with the horse and go out for a leisurely ride. The quiet beauty of the Varese province awaits you!
What we will do
The appointment is at the riding school in Varese, 15 minutes before the time chosen when booking.
On arrival we will be greeted by theequestrian instructor, who will hand us our helmets and assist us in putting on the saddle, with a briefing of about half an hour. We will do a field trial to get familiar with our horse and gain the necessary confidence for the ride.
We will then leave the stables and begin our 8-12 km ride, depending on the experience level of the group. Thepace will be adapted by the guide to the level of the less experienced participants, who will then be able to enjoy an easy walk at pace.
The natural scenery in which our hike will take place will be that of the woods and hills surrounding Varese, on the borders of the Campo dei Fiori Regional Park. We will walk along dirt tracks surrounded by vegetation, cross streams and admire beautiful views of theastronomical observatory and the Sacro Monte of Varese.
We will also pass through the ancient rural village of Mustonate, overlooking Lake Varese, before returning to the riding stables after a 1-hour walk. The experience will last about an hour and a half in total.
