RIDE: Trekking the Delightful Dolomites by Haflinger

There's no better way to enjoy the mountains of northern Italy…

In this episode of RIDE, presented by Longines, we take a trip to the mountains of northeastern Italy to meet Alberto Russo and his herd of Haflingers.

Alberto’s horses are not just a means of transport across this idyllic terrain, they represent a way of living that he’s keen to preserve and share. Visitors come to Alberto’s Gauberg Dolomiti Horsetrek from all over the world to enjoy the experience of traversing the delightful Dolomites on horseback.

While the rain falls in the build-up to winter, Alberto and his guests lose none of their enthusiasm. To the pleasant sound of cowbells, they groom these lovely horses ahead of a day of riding in these majestic surroundings.

Watch the full video as we visit Gauberg Dolomiti Horsetrek, marvelling at the magical mountains and delving into the history behind this unique trekking centre…
