In the heart of the Primiero and Vanoi Valleys, horse riding becomes a journey through silent woods, flowering meadows and the majestic peaks of the Dolomites. Along enchanting trails and scenic viewpoints, riding schools and farm stays offer horseback experiences for every level, led by expert hands and reliable horses.

Agritur Dalaip dei pape
Agritur Dalaip dei Pape, long known as an educational farm offering activities for adults and children to discover berries, the world of honey and friendly animals, now welcomes you with an exciting new experience. An area where you can enjoy your first ride on horseback or pony, as well as guided excursions for beginners and experienced riders alike – from one-hour or half-day treks to full-day adventures for adults, and shorter rides around the farm for children.
All activities are led by certified environmental riding guides who, besides teaching equestrian techniques, will help you explore the beautiful landscapes surrounding the farm stay. Immersed in the breathtaking setting of the Pale di San Martino di Castrozza – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – with routes through forests and mountain pastures, you’ll enjoy a truly immersive experience in close contact with the surrounding nature.
Agritur Broch
The mares Rosmary and Virginia, together with Dorotea, look forward to welcoming you and sharing their story. How important have horses been throughout history? What role do they play on farms today? Let’s learn how to behave around horses, how to lead them and communicate with them — if we respect them, they will respect us and even let us enjoy a gentle ride on their back.
The large Broch family is ready to welcome you: Daniela, the third of six children, has long managed the farmhouse and surrounding farmland together with her family. Giulia, the eldest daughter, has inherited the family’s passion for farming and animals, and runs the family business with Roberto. Valentina brings imagination and a touch of flair to the kitchen, where she works alongside her mother, while Elisa ensures guests receive a warm welcome and attentive service in the dining room.
