• Gess Ranch - Experience the breathtaking landscapes of the Bolognese Hills on horseback, following the historic Via degli Dei, the ancient path linking Bologna to Florence. Begin your journey from a riding stable in Sasso Marconi and select from two routes — either 1 or 2 hours — based on your riding expertise. Participants must be at least 14 years old, with a maximum weight limit of 95 kg (209 lbs).

Before embarking, engage in a brief introductory session to familiarize yourself with your horse. An experienced equestrian guide will accompany you throughout, leading you along scenic trails immersed in nature.

For a leisurely ride through cultivated fields, ancient plane trees, and paths along the Reno River, choose the 1-hour option. Pause near the magnificent Palazzo de’ Rossi, a beautiful 16th-century estate. This choice is perfect for beginners or those with limited riding experience.

For more experienced riders, the 2-hour ride is recommended. This longer route extends beyond Palazzo de’ Rossi and further along the Via degli Dei, reaching the enchanting Laghetti del Maglio — small, pristine lakes teeming with local flora and fauna.
