Horse rides and lessons surrounded by the natural beauty of the Alto Vergante

Le Fontanelle Ranch is an equestrian centre on Lake Maggiore with over twenty years’ experience, founded to foster a relationship based on respect between people and horses. It is home to around 30 horses, which are managed in a semi-natural way and roam freely in their paddocks, and also produces eggs that can be purchased on site.

Rides
There are many horse riding routes starting from the ranch: from the simplest rides lasting an hour or two, to more challenging half-day routes, to treks for experienced riders. Most of these routes offer panoramic views of Lake Maggiore and the neighbouring lakes.

Lessons
Riding lessons are available on an individual or group basis, depending on the rider’s skill level and requirements. The ranch has two riding areas: a smaller one for beginners (saddling up) and a larger one with a section dedicated to mountain trails. Lessons are available for both adults and children.
