Horseback riding between Buëch and the peaks of the Aujour mountain

Your day begins with the discovery of the old village of Serres, a medieval town clinging to the Pignolette rock. Wandering through its sloping alleyways, you'll admire the well-preserved architecture of this historic stop on the Haute-Provence route. You'll then leave the bustle of the village behind to begin the ascent towards the Col de Saumanne. This pass offers a breathtaking view of the Buëch Valley and the limestone massifs that characterize the region.

For this day in the saddle, you'll explore the wild lands of the Haut-Buëch. This region, marked by a more pronounced mountain influence, offers landscapes of vast alpine pastures and more rugged peaks. You'll ride along rolling trails where the air cools and nature reclaims its space, far from any infrastructure. It's the perfect opportunity to enjoy a few final bursts of speed with your horse on wide, open tracks.

This stage begins with a descent to the Maraize stream, where you can enjoy a refreshing atmosphere under the leafy canopy. The gentle lapping of the water accompanies your horses as you enter the Gouravour Gorge. This narrow passage, with its limestone walls sculpted by time, offers a wild and spectacular setting. It's a perfect moment to appreciate the calm and coolness of the valley before the scenery changes dramatically.

You begin your day with a technical and winding descent along the GR des Piourets. This long-distance hiking trail offers breathtaking views of the valleys below, while demanding precise positioning of your horses. As you progress, the vegetation changes and Mediterranean species reclaim their territory, signaling your return to more temperate altitudes.
