Description

Saddle Up and Discover the Canavese on Horseback

There is a very special way to experience the area around Turin: let yourself be carried by the slow pace of a horse along the trails that climb the hills of Albiano d'Ivrea. The landscape changes with every bend, offering glimpses of rare beauty.

Highlights

Guided ride among woods and vineyards

A 7 km loop through the woodland and terraced vineyards of the Albiano d'Ivrea hills.

Views of the Castello Vescovile

Spot the elegant medieval silhouette of the bishop's castle along the route.

Suitable for beginners

No previous riding experience required: expert guides accompany the group on foot to ensure safety.

Authentic Canavese countryside

Discover an unspoilt corner of Piedmont, away from the most crowded tourist trails.

Tidy vineyards alternate with cool woods crossed by silent streams. In the distance the silhouette of the Castello Vescovile, witness to centuries of local history, accompanies the journey like a quiet presence.

Guiding you on this journey are expert riding guides, able to put even novice riders at ease. Safety is guaranteed and the experience is authentic.

A horseback ride in the Canavese is much more than a sport: it is a way to slow down, breathe clean air and connect with a corner of Piedmont still genuine and far from mass tourism routes.

The route, the landscapes and what makes this equestrian experience unique

The ride begins in Albiano d'Ivrea, a small Canavese village a short distance from Turin, immersed in a hilly landscape that looks straight out of a watercolour. Before setting off, the riding guides welcome you, introduce you to the horses and provide all the instructions needed to tackle the route in complete safety.

The route winds through woodland trails and terraced vineyards, with the constant background of streams murmuring through the vegetation. Every stretch offers a different perspective: at times you ride in the shade of the trees, at others you open onto wide panoramas across the moraine hills of the Canavese.

One of the most striking moments is undoubtedly the sight of the Castello Vescovile, which appears along the way in all its medieval elegance. A detail that turns a simple ride into a small journey through time.

The experience is designed to be accessible: no previous riding experience is required. The guides accompany every participant with care, adjusting the pace to the group's needs. Both for beginners and for those already familiar with horses, the result is a memorable experience.

At the end of the ride you take home something hard to find in the city: the silence of nature, the scent of the woods and an authentic connection with the Piedmontese countryside that goes well beyond the usual tourist itinerary.
