The Forest Pathway Explorer is a relaxed 30-minute horseback ride that takes you beyond the introductory trails and deeper beneath the shade of the area’s magnificent fir trees.

After meeting your horse and receiving a few simple riding instructions, you will follow your experienced guide into the forest. The gentle pace allows you to listen to the sounds of nature, breathe in the fresh mountain air and gradually become comfortable with the natural movement of your horse.

No previous riding experience is necessary. The horses are carefully trained for recreational riding and accustomed to people, making the experience accessible to beginners as well as visitors who simply want to enjoy the scenery without rushing.

How is this different from the 15-minute ride?

Do we ride alone or with a guide?

All tours are guided. An experienced riding guide accompanies the group throughout the route.

What clothes should I wear?

Long trousers and comfortable closed-toe shoes are recommended. Depending on the season, you may also want to bring a light jacket, warm layer or waterproof outer layer.

Is the ride fast?

The experience is designed primarily as a relaxed nature ride rather than a high-speed equestrian activity. The exact pace is determined by the guide according to the riders' experience and conditions on the trail.
