We explore the ancient paths of the Etruscans, the early inhabitants of Italy - long before the age of the Roman empire. We ride from the mountain pastures of Cornacchino, following the wilderness of the Fiora river valley through canyons cut by rushing streams in tuff rock, an Etruscan necropolis and medieval villages.
The programme follows a gradual progression: the first two days combine riding lessons and guided rides at Cornacchino, followed by a full day of riding in the countryside with a rich lunch prepared in the Cornacchino kitchen and delivered by our team directly to the designated picnic location.
During the final part of the week, the experience becomes a true multi-day trail ride, with routes through the landscapes of Pitigliano, Sovana and Sorano, along the ancient Etruscan Vie Cave and through the Etruscan necropolis of Sovana. The final stage brings both riders and horses back to Cornacchino.

non-alcoholic drinks and a selection of snacks. The Cornacchino team and riding guides will introduce the
