What to expect

Excursion in a splendid mid-mountain environment, with donkeys. The donkeys are ridden in turns, by children, or carry backpacks and lunch. The excursion is autonomous, self guide. It means without guidance. Donkeys are very docile and used to contact with people. They are easily managed. They will be entrusted to you for the whole day. The donkeys are haltered by adults, while children, up to 40 kg, can ride them. Obviously, an adult can only safely handle one donkey, so the number of donkeys they can foster depends on the number of adults. One of our operators will welcome you by introducing you to the animals and providing the necessary explanations for their management. You will be provided with a local map and shared the track via a mapping APP. We preferably use Komoot, but you can also use other APPs if you already use them. Duration: full day.
