Horseback Riding Tour from Colico on Lake Como
Overview
Enjoy an unforgettable horseback riding experience in Colico, at the northern tip of Lake Como, ideal even for beginners thanks to the comfortable Western saddle and a short practice session before the ride.
Choose between a 1-hour or 2-hour tour, both featuring a scenic ride to the lake with a stop at the beach (when accessible) and peaceful trails through the surrounding fields.
