Enjoy an unforgettable horseback riding experience in Colico, at the northern tip of Lake Como, ideal even for beginners thanks to the comfortable Western saddle and a short practice session before the ride. Choose between a 1-hour or 2-hour tour, both featuring a scenic ride to the lake with a stop at the beach (when accessible) and peaceful trails through the surrounding fields. The 2-hour tour offers something extra: a beautiful trail through the woods, reaching the first paths of the Valtellina region. In summer, you can even ride your horse into the river or lake, creating a truly unique memory. In winter, snow rides are a magical way to explore the snowy landscape. Throughout the ride, an experienced guide will lead you along breathtaking routes with views of unspoiled nature, rivers, mountains, and the eastern shores of Lake Como. In case of disability, the provider will assess on site if participation is safe; otherwise, the experience will not take place.

    A different Saturday among nature and horses

    A different Saturday among nature and horses with the family. We booked a horseback ride in the morning at 10. They were very punctual, we started with 5/10 minutes of "preparation" inside the riding school and then started the ride of about 50 minutes. The horses were splendid, well-kept and cooperative. The staff was fantastic, they explain things and are always available to help. Beautiful places. I highly recommend it!

    A must-try

    A walk in nature is always nice, very docile horses, friendly and helpful staff, I will definitely return for other walks. I recommend it to everyone, especially for those with children

    The Comer lac was pretty....

    The Comer lac was pretty. The horses are lovely. We have an one hour hack. They make a picture on the horses from us.

    On horseback toward happiness: a magical experience (and screen-free!) at Nuova Quercia

    A rare gem! An unforgettable experience at Nuova Quercia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We went on a one-hour horseback ride at the La Nuova Quercia Equestrian Center and it was an experience that was nothing short of extraordinary! 100% attention and safety: I started out with a lot of fear, but the staff was incredible in their welcome. They have a rare ability to put you at ease and explain everything with patience and professionalism. A huge round of applause for the horse-rider pairing: I was entrusted with Gina, a horse of infinite sweetness who made every fear I had vanish in a second! Visible animal welfare: You can immediately notice the love and deep respect with which all the horses are treated. They are serene, well-cared-for, and very sweet. \"Digital Detox\" miracle: The kids, usually inseparable from smartphones and screens, completely forgot about their devices for the entire duration of the experience. They returned home tired, but very happy, relaxed, and enthusiastic. An experience that you absolutely must have in your life. The only real flaw? It's addictive: once you've tried it, you just want to keep doing it forever! We will definitely be back. Highly recommended! Elena Luciano Federico Gabriele

    Horseback Riding Tour from Colico on Lake Como: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.

    How much does Horseback Riding Tour from Colico on Lake Como cost?

    +

    Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lake Como usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Horseback Riding Tour from Colico on Lake Como take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lake Como is not rushed.

    Is Horseback Riding Tour from Colico on Lake Como worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lake Como, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Horseback Riding Tour from Colico on Lake Como?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Horseback Riding Tour from Colico on Lake Como suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Horseback Riding Tour from Colico on Lake Como?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lake Como can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lake Como and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Horseback Riding Tour from Colico on Lake Como start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lake Como within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lake Como?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lake Como experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ghisallo Pilgrimage - Road and E-bike Tour, Lake Como Private Wooden Boat Tour & Italian Glamour, Small-Group Pasta and Tiramisu Class in Como with Aperitivo. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lake Como?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lake Como?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    +

    Included: Experienced equestrian guide; Horse riding equipment; Horseback ride; Scenic trail through the woods; and 5-minute session in the arena. Not included: Recommended clothing: long pants, closed-toe shoes, and a T-shirt or sweatshirt. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    To reach the Ranch Google ‘’Ranch La Quercia Colico’’ and press DIRECTION. The entrance is from the dirt road that runs along the Adda river (big river), keeping the white fence on your left. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
