Spoleto On horseback

Tailor-made day ride in the Umbrian hills

Spoleto

The hills above the Valnerina are oak, broom and old mule tracks, and La Somma sits high in them with its own stables. You tell them what kind of day you want and they build the ride around it.

How the day goes

  1. Talk the route through at the farm, then pick a horse and get up.
  2. Out along the ridge tracks with Spoleto and the valley opening below you.
  3. A stop where the view earns it, then the ride back down to the stables.

A tailor-made day ride wants a group behind it: bring people, or ask what is already on their calendar.
