Horseback riding in the Aosta Valley, among extraordinary views and castles, some of which remain only ruins but others that are worth a visit such as the castle of Fénis, the castle of Verres, the fort of Bard and the castle of Saint Pierre.

Horseback riding in the Aosta Valley paying attention to the climate because temperatures vary according to the altitude of the territory.

Summers are short with long winters where the high altitude temperature drops to -20 ° C and in summer temperatures above 30 ° C are recorded in the valley floor with little wind that accentuates the annoying sensation of mugginess.

We suggest some routes but check first that they are suitable for your experience and, if you want, on the Fise Valle d’Aosta website, you will find equestrian centers that will be happy to help you and suggest alternatives and, if you are traveling with your horse, read our advice here. Thank you.

You can start with a horseback ride of about 1 hour in Saint Pierre or with a walk of about 3 hours starting from Vetan (1800 m asl) a small fraction of the village of Saint Pierre that you can easily reach both from Aosta and from the main roads and highways.

It is a walk that winds along the pristine paths of the valley, in the direction of Saint Pierre and Saint Nicolas, two small characteristic villages, where you can breathe an atmosphere that seems to have crystallized over time, among majestic mountain peaks, pastures, woods and medieval castles will make you feel immersed in another dimension.

As is our custom, we suggest three hotels but the offer in the Aosta Valley is really very wide and we are sure that you will find the perfect accommodation for you.

The Hermitage Hotel in Cervinia or the Grand Hotel Courmayeur Mont Blanc in Courmayeur and, finally, the Gran Baita Hotel always in Courmayeur.

His name is Clop and he is an anthropomorphic horse who lives in Cavallolandia, a city inhabited by horses like him, overlooking the gulf of Mane in the wind on the island of Horses Island, in the Ocean of Seahorses.
In Cavallolandia live Mayor Tom Capezza, Clop’s secretary Blonde Mane, the industrialist Onofrio Pezzato, the chef Hippo Gnam Gnam of the bar restaurant Biada & Fieno, grandmother Barbozza, the policeman Lukketto Mc Prison, his friend Amedeo Ambio… and there is no shortage of “rascals” like Brigliesciole, the thief who lives in the castle of the evil Truccacorse.
Clop is waiting for you here.
Your visit will make him neigh with joy.
