Where to go horseback riding in Turin?

- If you've never been on a horseback riding excursion before, we recommend beginning this delightful experience with a one-hour ride. This is ideal especially if kids are on the equestrian ride.

- If you want to spend an entire day outdoors on horseback, head to Avigliana in the province of Turin, where you can complete your adventure with a delicious lunch.

- In the cities of San Gilio, Avigliana, and Campiglione, you can find activities of this nature lasting an hour or a whole day, and if you want to have a truly unique experience, a riding lesson awaits you in Caselette, in the province of Turin. Everyone from the age of 5 can take part in this leisurely.

- If you have previous horseback riding expertise, we recommend going on a lengthier tour, such as a 2 or 3 hour horseback ride in Avigliana. Every equestrian centre in the Turin province has an expert instructor on hand to advise and accompany you on excursions, ensuring optimum safety and professionalism with a briefing of a few minutes before heading out on the horse.

- Most equestrian centres in Piedmont include the essential equipment and insurance in the price, so you can enjoy your horseback ride without worrying about anything. For the adventurous souls, we offer a two-day trekking expedition on the Avigliana lakes. You will pass via the Val Susa and Val Sangone, with an overnight stay in a tent or a hotel with a supplement and delicious spread of traditional Piedmontese cuisine.

Piobesi Torinese, Caselette, Avigliana, Poirino, and Giaveno are the locations of the riding schools we recommend. We want to tell you in more detail the different options offered by equestrian centres:
