In a few words

Escape for a four-day horseback riding adventure in the heart of the Provençal Baronnies , an enchanting interlude in the wild Méouge Valley . Starting from Ribiers , this route takes you through the unspoiled landscapes of the Hautes-Alpes , where the scents of thyme and lavender accompany your horse's every step.

Your adventure begins with a climb to the perched village of Éourres , an ecological haven where you'll spend an unusual night in a yurt under one of the clearest skies in Europe. Between panoramic ridges and hidden valleys, you'll reach the historic hamlet of Izon-la-Bruisse before ascending to the peaks of the Montagne de Chabre . From there, a breathtaking panorama unfolds, revealing the citadel of Sisteron .

This trip skillfully blends sport and local culture . Each evening, a warm welcome awaits you at a farm-inn, allowing you to savor authentic local products. The refreshing turquoise pools of the river and the crossing of the legendary Roman bridge complete this idyllic scene. Accessible and rejuvenating, this trek is an invitation to total disconnection , fostering a connection with your horse and a return to the essentials in the heart of nature.

The highlights

  • Unusual accommodations: sleep each night in yurts or wooden cabins
  • Terroir & Partage: meet the producers and taste the products of the Hautes-Alpes
  • Wild nature: disconnect between the turquoise waters of the Méouge and the green of the mountain ridges
