The region offers a wide diversity of vegetation for excursions within a few miles of major cities. The Val d'Orcia and Val d'Elsa offer splendid rides amidst hills characterized by cypress trees and ancient villages such as Pienza and San Gimignano. Or, the forests of Garfagnana and the fields of Lunigiana, while for horseback riding by the sea and on the beach the best areas are Versilia and Maremma. Finally, Chianti offers the best horseback riding tours in the vineyards.
Horseback treks in Tuscany vary in duration: they range from about 1h up to half a day. The price is between €25 and €40 per hour, depending on the services included. Some facilities, in fact, also offer the possibility of combining the excursion with a local wine tasting or aperitif, or a typical lunch in a riding school with a farmhouse in Tuscany.
