Full description
Get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and go for a horseback ride to Lake Viverone, a magical place just a few kilometres from Turin.
From Azeglio you will ride for about three hours in the tranquillity of the shores of the lake, over which many stories and legends hover. You will experience the thrill of entering the water on horseback, having fun together with your new companion.
Don't have any experience on horseback? Don't worry: professional guides will teach you how to handle the horse and accompany you step by step through this incredible experience.
What we will do
The meeting point is in Albiano d’Ivrea, in the province of Turin. On arrival, the riding guide will welcome us and introduce us to the magnificent horses at the riding centre. Before setting off on our ride, the guide will briefly explain the basic techniques for handling the horse safely.
We’ll set off towards Lake Viverone, a picturesque spot famous for the stories and legends surrounding it. The lake’s history is linked to the remains of a submerged village dating back to the Bronze Age.
Legend has it that the village sank because of the inhabitants’ lack of generosity; they had refused to take in Saint Martin. It is said that, ever since that day, whenever the wind blows strongly, you can hear the tolling of the bells from the submerged church of Saint Martin.
We’ll ride for about an hour and a half through the countryside until we reach the lake’s shores, where we’ll also be able to see the remains of the pile-dwelling village. If the guide agrees, we may even be able to ride our horses into the lake: it’ll be an incredible experience.
On the hour-and-a-half return journey, we’ll take a scenic route to fully admire the moraine landscape and the splendid Bishop’s Castle from the outside.
Finally, we’ll make our way back to the riding centre at a leisurely pace. Including the initial briefing and the ride itself, the activity will last around 4 hours.
