The 10 best things to do in the Fassa Valley in winter and summer

Horseback riding in Colico, at the northern tip of Lake Como. The rides are 1 to 2 hours with American saddle, suitable even for those who do not know how to ride a horse. You get 5 min in the field to learn a little bit.

You start at the riding stables, go to the lake, go to the beach (unless it's unusable), go through the fields and back to the ranch. You can also do 2-hour ones: you go down to the lake and go up to the Valtellina doing some forest.

You can also take a dip in the river or lake with your horse in warmer weather. Winter walks in the snow are also very popular.

The rides are accompanied by an equestrian guide who will take you to the spaces of the farm’or the immediate surroundings. You can admire and discover new territories among nature, landscapes such as Lake Como (on the eastern side), rivers and mountains.

In case of bad weather, the moment the riding school deems the outing impractical, you will be entitled to move your reservation or receive full refund.

The ride is not allowed for children under 14 years of age.

Discover the unique thrill of a snowmobile tour in Livigno, one of the most fascinating destinations for winter lovers.

Wakeboarding at Como Lake Cable Park, a small lake near Colico, is an adventurous and adrenaline-pumping experience.
