Giddy up! Your carriage awaits!
At two horsepower through Ortisei
When Walter harnesses his horses Sally and Susi – a mother and daughter team – then it is said in the Cavallino: today is the day for carriage rides! Our little poppets excitedly scurry backwards and forwards in front of the main entrance and can hardly wait for the horse-drawn carriage to finally appear around the corner. We grown-ups also look forward to a few pleasant moments spent with the whole family and let the children's delight infect us.
Then, at last, it’s time. Walter and his team of two drive up. From that moment, we actually feel like a real royal family! The carriage door is opened for us and we can clamber inside. The in-house "Cavallino Court Photographer" takes another photo of us with the kids for the family album and our magical journey – the only one in the whole valley – through the ritzy village of Ortisei begins. Our young royal children have huge smiles on their faces and wave happily to anyone passing by. Meanwhile, we parents let the wind blow through our hair entertained by Walter, who is always ready for a little chat. After returning to the hotel, we pet Sally and Susi for a little while and wave them goodbye as they head off on their next trip, which is free for every family.
