A sport for some, a hobby for others, horseback riding is a unique way to get in touch with nature, thanks to the symbiotic relationship between a rider and her trusty steed. On horseback, a rider can access wild spaces that might otherwise prove inaccessible, especially during the breathtakingly beautiful yet formidable conditions of an alpine winter.
Ski Joëring
Originating in Norway, this fun sport is an ancestral discipline consisting of being towed on skis by a horse (or dog with Team des Loups) in tandem with a guide. Ski joëring is for animal lovers eager for thrills. A ski helmet is required for this activity.
Horseback riding
Set off on horseback through snow-laden forests for an old timey adventure reminiscent of Lewis and Clark’s great expedition into the wilderness.
Pony rides
An all-time-favourite activity with the littlies, riders and ponies take the time to gain each other’s confidence before setting off. Your little cavalier will come back prancing with pride and a sense of accomplishment!
Carriage rides
Sit back and enjoy the ride; could there be a better way to enjoy the region’s natural beauty than at the slow and steady pace of a horse-drawn carriage?
Sleigh Rides
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh! Especially when you’re gliding effortlessly along among frozen forests and giant snowdrifts in the idyllic Région Dents du Midi…
