Ideal destinations in Lombardy for Horseback Riding



Lombardy and Horseback Riding: what to know

Lombardy is one of the best regions to go horseback riding. There are several riding stables within a few kilometers of the cities that offer splendid rides: amidst vineyards, on the banks of the Lakes, in the woods, hills and mountains.

The best horseback rides near Milan can be found at Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, and Lake Garda. The areas of Franciacorta and Oltrepò Pavese are characteristic for rides through vineyards. For horseback rides in the mountains, which are also very scenic in winter, the peaks of Valchiavenna and Valtellina offer breathtaking snowy landscapes.

Horseback riding tours are a lot of fun and most routes are suitable even for beginners, so no prior equestrian experience is necessary. Shorter tours of 1h to longer tours of 3h can be selected. Some facilities also offer the opportunity to enjoy a typical farm meal or a tasting of local products, such as this horse trekking at Lake Garda!

Prices for horseback rides in Lombardy range from 25€ to 40€ per hour, and depend on the services included. In addition, recommended clothing includes long pants, comfortable lace-up shoes, and possibly a shirt that covers the arms - to protect against brambles and insects.

So, if you live in Milan, Lecco, Como, Bergamo, Brescia, or any other city in Lombardy, and are looking for a ride for a special occasion as a couple, or a day out with friends and family, visit one of the riding stables just minutes from the cities for a pleasant horseback ride!
