Full description
Visit the most beautiful places in the Novarese area on a one-hour horseback ride through the woods of Gattico-Veruno and immerse yourself in unspoilt nature in the company of a sweet horse.
You can discover some of the most evocative places in the terriory, such as Sass Malò, and be enchanted by its legends, or you can have fun crossing the Meja torrent on horseback.
And if this is your first time on horseback, don't worry: a professional equestrian guide will accompany you along the entire route, teaching you the basic riding techniques.
What we will do
We will meet at the riding school in Veruno, in the province of Novara. Here we will be welcomed by the equestrian guide and get to know the beautiful trained horses that will accompany us on our tour.
After familiarising ourselves with the animals and learning basic riding techniques, we will be ready to set off on our horseback ride in the wooded area of Gattico-Veruno. We will explore the Novara hills along beaten paths through deciduous forests, pastures and vineyards, surrounded by unspoilt nature.
We will ride our horses up to the Meja stream or Sass Malò, depending on weather conditions and the condition of the trail. In the heart of the Gattico woods lies this imposing erratic boulder, Sass Malò, whose legend has it that it is the secret lair of some wicked witches.
A qualified guide will accompany us on foot along the trail for our safety and that of the horses. For this reason, we will never ride at a trot, but always at a walking pace.
The activity lasts about 1½ hours and ends with the return to the riding school.
