The Ippovia Biellese!

Come and discover the Ippovia (horse trail) Biellese: a circular path of trails along our territory. Divided into daily sections, every day you will reach a resting point for horse and rider.

The wide variety of environments and landscapes, the succession of rolling hills a few miles together in the plains to the Alps, make this area particularly suitable for scenic excursions on horseback.

Through nature reserves, nature reserves, sanctuaries and villages of the Ippovia del Biellese will lead to the discovery of a pleasant and relaxing area, ideal for the practice of a sport that respects animals and nature.

You’ll be guided by professionals of well established riding centers , where you’ll find all necessary services for yourselves and your horses. 

The entire trail can be ridden through from May to October. During the other periods only some parts are open.
