Full description
Beyond the centre there is more: explore the natural surroundings of the city of Verona!
Take part in our horseback ride: venture into the saddle in the company of an equestrian guide, following the course of the river Adige until you reach a small beach. And cross the historic Chievo Dam, which watches over the city.
A two-hour experience that you can crown with a tasting of local products.
What we will do
I will be waiting for you 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Verona (VR). I, your equestrian guide, will welcome you at the riding stables!
After the welcome, I will accompany you to my horses. I will help you get on the saddle with an American mount and, during a short briefing, I will provide you with all the information you need to ride the animal without any worries.
Ready for our horseback ride, we will ride along thetowpath of the Adige River until we reach a small beach where we can try to enter the river by getting the animal's hooves wet. We will also cross the bridge better known as the Chievo Dam, a structure that has guarded the city of Verona for over 100 years. Along the way we will be constantly accompanied by the presence of Monte Baldo and the hills of Verona on the horizon, as well as the friendly swans, ducks and geese that inhabit the area.
We will finally return to the meeting point. The horseback ride will last 2 hours; the experience will last 2 ½ hours in total. And if, when booking, you have selected the"walk + tasting" option, at the end of the walk a tasting of local wines will be waiting for you, accompanied by a platter of local cured meats and cheeses in the wine cellar or at the stables, depending on availability.
