Overview
An unmissable horse riding experience that immerses you in the pastoral landscape that is the rugged Couserans region of the Ariège Pyrénées mountains, and gets you off the beaten track on horseback like never before.
This 5-day 6 night horse trekking experience is specially designed for the adventurous, intermediate-level horse rider who wishes to discover the wildly beautiful mountain landscapes of the Ariège Pyrénées.
This circular trek will be guided by Chantal, who knows the rugged environment of this area of the Pyrénées mountains like the back of her hand. She breeds the sure-footed, good-natured horses that you will ride, horses that are perfectly adapted to this mountainous terrain and the ideal mount for a multi day horse trek.
Each day on your horse riding holiday, you will spend between 5 and 7 hours in the saddle, discovering authentic mountain hamlets where time appears to have stood still and where traditional ways of life have been preserved.
You’ll ride through shaded woodland trails, and along mountainside paths that afford the most breathtaking views of the high mountains that border Spain. This is where the brown bears hang out, but don’t worry, they’re shy creatures who will do anything to avoid human contact!
At the end of each day, you can look forward to a hot shower, a hearty meal made from seasonal, local produce and a good night’s sleep in comfortable accommodation. Your bags will be transferred between your overnight stops, so you just need to carry what you need for your day on horseback.
