FIRST DAY: Riding

The first day is the most challenging, with almost 8 hours in the saddle on demanding trails along the backbone of the Larian Triangle. The meeting point will be in Como. We’ll take the funicular to Brunate. Once in Brunate, we’ll find our horses. You will embark on a ride of about five hours to the first refuge of this trip. There, we will have a simple and typical lunch from the local tradition. Afterward, we’ll have another 4 hours of riding to mountain hut.They will welcome us with a typical aperitif using local products. Here we will stop for the night.

DAY TWO: Lake View

On the second day, we can wake up calmly with breakfast surrounded by nature. We will then set out for a trek with breathtaking views of Lake Como, until we reach the summit of Mount San Primo, the highest peak of the Larian Triangle overlooking. We’ll have a picnic in the shade of beech woods. We’ll be in the saddle for about 6 hours. Once back at our accommodation, a pleasant Italian culinary surprise awaits us.

DAY THREE: Relax

The third day will be dedicated to relaxation. In the morning, after a beautiful breakfast, we’ll take an easy horse-trek with a view for a few hours and reach the “Castagneto di Rezzago”. We’ll return to enjoy a nice home-cooked lunch. In the afternoon, you can decide whether to go for a mountain hike or relax on Ilaria & Rinaldo’s ranch – it could be an excellent opportunity to strengthen the bond with your horse.

DAY FOUR: Bellagio

On the last day, wake up early and brace yourselves… we’ll arrive in Bellagio on horseback! Yes, we’ll depart from our refuge located in Pian del Tivano, cross the Valley of Torno, and reach the magical Bellagio. It will be time to bid farewell to your horses and head to the next destination or stay a few more days to experience the extra activities we have at your disposal! Here, you’ll also find your luggage. You can return to Como by boat, admiring the magnificent landscape of this Lake.

What to pack for a
 Four day experience

All clothing should be in neutral colors to blend in with the bush (shades of khaki, brown, beige, black, white, or green). We strongly advise opting for hiking boots equipped with Vibram grip soles instead of traditional riding boots. This choice is crucial for navigating paths that involve both ascents and descents, where improper footwear poses a considerable risk.

For unexpected heavy rainfall, we supply wax ponchos designed to shield both you and your saddle.If you tend to get cold, bring an extra layer. We also recommend an outfit for the evening and swimwear. Wearing a helmet is mandatory, and NOOR provides new caps to its clients. If you prefer to bring your own, you are welcome to do so.
