The route of the Biellese Horse Trail crosses the entire territory of the Province of Biella, from the rice fields to the Alps, starting from a height of 230 meters up to 1,500 mt in Bielmonte, with an extension of about 200 km.

The Biellese Horse Trail can be covered entirely in one week. Alternatively, it is possible to select some sections to be covered by stopping at one or more riding stables, and from there you can start your discovery of  the surrounding area.
The entire route is accessible from May to October. The mountain section is not accessible during the winter months; the flat sections are instead accessible during the whole year.

A detailed map of the territory on a scale of 1.25.000, divided into 5 sheets, shows the entire layout of the Horse Trail. However, it is recommended to ride along the Biellese Horse Trail accompanied by a local equestrian guide, available at the partner stables.

There are numerous equestrian centers scattered throughout the area that can offer quality services and professionally welcoming horses and riders.
