In a few words
Explore the treasures of the Haut-Jura Natural Park during a unique equestrian immersion. Pioneers of horseback riding since 1992, we guide you through wild and unspoiled nature, where water and forest sculpt exceptional landscapes.
Your route winds between fir forests and dry grassy valleys, leading you to two listed gems: the site of the 4 lakes with their emerald waters and the majestic Hérisson waterfalls . This journey along the water reveals an unexpected, authentic and rejuvenating side of the Jura.
For this adventure, you will team up with horses raised on site , living in a herd outdoors all year round. Their balance and sure-footedness guarantee a serene experience, whether you set off on a 2 to 5-day ride.
To fully enjoy your stay, we offer the option of arriving the day before or extending your relaxation by departing the following day. An ideal equestrian getaway to disconnect and savor the magic of the Jura mountains.
