Programme: “Adventures on Horseback”

Discovering Umbria collaborates with a specialist horse riding centre affiliated with FITETREC-ANTE (Italian Federation of Equestrian Tourism). FITETREC-ANTE’s main purpose is to publicise equestrian tourism, that is, to use the horse to discover, or rediscover, hidden territories, and to communicate these values to all those who partake, learning that the horse is not merely a means of transport but a companion in adventure.

Our horse riding centre offers:

School of horse riding and handling:

Riding lessons for beginners and non beginners, directed towards cross-country activites.

Guided walks:

Tourist excursions, for those with less experience, in the woodland areas in the countryside around the horse riding centre.

Organized excursions:

These are organized journeys on horse back of one or more days directed at groups of more expert riders, either with your own horse or with a hired horse from the riding centre.
It is possible to arrange a specific excursion for a group of interested people that is “made-to-measure”.

Programme “The Search for the Black Truffle”

An expert tartufaio (truffle hunter) and his dog will guide you to the discovery of the truffle and reveal the secrets of its search. During the excursion all signs of tranquillity in the nearby reserves will be forgotten as the participants (max eight persons) become involved in a fascinating "battuta" (combing of the area) in the search for the precious booty. The walk through the woodland area where the truffles grow will also provide numerous opportunities to observe the many species of birds and animals that live in the region.

The walk finishes with lunch in a nearby agriturismo with where you will enjoy exquisite tidbits prepared, of course, using the black truffle as a base. The excursion is conducted in Italian but with assistance in English.
