Full description
And you, do you know Val Dumentina?
It is a valley in the province of Varese, rich in pastures and woods in which to ride. And it is precisely in this splendid natural setting that our horseback ride with an equestrian guide takes place, framed by the peaks overlooking Lake Maggiore.
An experience lasting a total of 1 hour or 1 ½ hours, enriched by a grooming lesson that will make us fond of the horse right from the start!
What we will do
The appointment is at 10 a.m. at the meeting point in Dumenza (VA). We will be welcomed by the equestrian guide who will accompany us on this adventure!
Once all the participants have gathered, we will meet the horses. We will familiarise ourselves with the animal by cleaning and grooming it during a short grooming lesson, before saddling it up and proceeding with the saddle followed by basic riding notions for a carefree experience. This first moment will last about 15 minutes.
And here we are ready for our horseback ride: after a short asphalt crossing we will enter a forest in Val Dumentina, riding on a dirt road. Along the way, depending on the route taken, it will be possible to see Monte Lema, Mottarone, the Monte Rosa chain and all the peaks framing Lake Maggiore on the horizon! During the excursion, each participant will be led ashore by an equestrian technician using a harness.
We will then return to the meeting point. The experience will last a total of 1 hour or 1½ hours depending on the option selected when booking.
