Horse Trekking Tuscany

Trekking in the wonderful Appenine Mountains of Tuscany is a magical way to see the real country.
Our horses are safe, but still have spirit! We would recommend that you have at least a little experience for the longer treks, however we can take complete novices on a one to one basis.

We offer a very personal guided trekking service, using our own wonderful horses. You can take a day as part of your overall Retreat experience or have a week of riding into deepest Tuscany.

The riding is based in the National park and duration of each trek can be from 1 hour to all day, returning to Sensone Retreat each day.

Sample Itinerary 1.
Reniao and Bebbio - This 2 hour trek takes the rider down through chestnut forests, with wonderful views of the Garfagnana valley. Dropping down we pass old shepherd cottages, hidden pathways and long forgotten paths before winding back up through the hamlet of Bebbio and then a stop for a liquid refreshment at Franca's Bar in Reniao.
You will see natural forests, Eagles and wildlife, Mountain views, cottages and local inhabitants

Sample Itinerary 2
Renaio - Satello
This is an all day trip, trekking the high mountains up to 1600 metres, passing wonderful views, wildlife and forest. Finally reachng the Satello area that is a high mountain Plato/ Pass between Tuscan and Modena.

There are 100's of different and spectacular Treks on the mountains and we can create an Itinery to suit your requirments.

We charge on an hourly basis - flat rate of £30 / hour per horse.
