What To Expect
Discover the scenic beauty of the Bolognese Hills on horseback, along the historic Via degli Dei, the ancient route that connects Bologna to Florence. Depart from a riding stable in Sasso Marconi and choose between two routes — lasting 1 or 2 hours — depending on your level of experience. Participants must be at least 14 years old, and the maximum weight limit is 95 kg (209 lbs).
Before setting off, take part in a short introductory briefing to help you get comfortable with your horse. Be accompanied at all times by an experienced equestrian guide who will lead you along picturesque trails surrounded by nature.
For a relaxing route through cultivated fields, centuries-old plane trees, and trails along the Reno River, choose the 1-hour ride. Stop near the majestic Palazzo de’ Rossi, a stunning 16th-century estate. This option is ideal for beginners or those with little riding experience.
If you’re a more confident rider, opt for the 2-hour ride. This extended route takes you past Palazzo de’ Rossi and deeper along the Via degli Dei, reaching the charming Laghetti del Maglio — small, unspoiled lakes rich in local flora and fauna.
