Ride, Swim & City Full Day
Morning trail ride, picnic lunch, Aare swim, city walk with ice cream and dinner in Thun
The most physically varied full day on the list: trail ride through the Thun highlands in the morning, alpine picnic at the turnaround, Aare river swim to cool down, then a relaxed city walk through Thun old town finishing with dinner. Konrad is with you from 09:00 to 19:00.
The horse section requires intermediate riding ability — walk and trot on uneven terrain. Konrad arranges the horses through the Thun highlands riding farm and accompanies on horseback.
Itinerary
Horse farm — briefing
Horses assigned by ability. Konrad leads on horseback — the trail runs through highland meadows above Lake Thun.
