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.

The highlights

  • A wild immersion between fir forests and secret valleys of the Haut-Jura park
  • A unique partnership with horses born on site, well-balanced and accustomed to the terrain
  • Full board package to make the most of your stay!

The horses were beautiful and the riding instructor was excellent. However, the number of riding hours per day wasn't always respected, and the fitness level of some participants didn't match their self-declarations before registration (which somewhat penalized the group). The price charged for one night with arrival the day before is exorbitant compared to the services provided.
