>> Dove Siamo

Founded by the owner Graziano Bontempelli more than 20 years ago due to his authentic passion for horses, the Alpina Equestrian Center and guest ranch and has since come along way. Nowadays it is not only a modern equestrian center and guest ranch, but it is also home to many other animals such as cows, chickens, pigs, and goats, which all put together create an authentic friendly warm atmosphere that is surely difficult to find elsewhere. Our inn takes great pride in serving our homemade cold cuts , fresh vegetables from our gardens and locally produced cheeses.

The equestrian center and guest ranch are situated along the edge of the woods and right in front of the spectacular bike path which connects the towns of Mezzana and Pellizzano. The guest ranch has several private rooms, apartments and a charming inn which are wheelchair accessible, and all finely furnished with traditional wood furniture. There is also a spacious lot right beside the ranch so parking is never a problem.
The stable is located near the guest house and is home to numerous horses and ponies. You can horseback ride through the various awe-inspiring trails and meadows that surround the center ,or perfect your riding skills by participating in one of the numerous riding programs held at our equestrian centre for riders of all levels.
Surrounded by nature, the valley truly offers many adventures for those who also want to explore beyond the saddle. You can try your luck with some exhilarating sports such as paragliding or rafting and canoeing across the rapids of the Noce river or you can explore something new such as high altitude mountain climbing, nordic walking ,archery, fishing or hiking along the numerous scenic trails designed for various levels of hikers. Needless to say, winter is no exception since the renowned slopes of Folgarida Marilleva ski area are only one kilometer away from the Alpine Equestrian Centre and Farmhouse. Other well known ski areas such as Passo Tonale , Peio and Madonna di Campiglio are also nearby as well as numerous cross-country skiing centers. 
Come and enjoy a romantic horse drawn winter sleigh ride through the striking snow covered fields of the valley or bring the whole family along for the excitement and fun.
