Riders on horseback on a trail through open country On horseback

Two-hour ride through the Circeo forest and along Lago di Paola

Sabaudia

The old oak wood of the Circeo park lies between Sabaudia and the sea, and Lago di Paola sits inside it. You cross both from the saddle, at walking pace.

How the day goes

  1. Meet at the stables at Baia d'Argento, inside the national park.
  2. If you have never ridden, the basics come first in the yard.
  3. Out through the oaks and the fields, then along the shore of Lago di Paola.
  4. Riders who know what they are doing can ask for the sea instead of the lake.

There is a minimum age to ride here, so it does not work for a family with small children.
