In a few words

Embark on a three-day horseback riding getaway in the heart of the Giffre Valley , within the magnificent setting of the Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval , one of the most iconic natural sites in the Alps . This horseback trek immerses you in a spectacular environment, between vertiginous cliffs , waterfalls , and high-altitude pastures .

At the pace of the horses, you progress along varied mountain trails , alternating between forests , meadows , and panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. Each stage reveals unspoiled nature and landscapes of great richness, conducive to disconnecting and escaping.

Accessible and friendly, this experience prioritizes the joy of discovery as much as the bond with the horse. The moments shared in small groups enhance the authenticity of the stay, in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

With full board , you can fully enjoy your adventure without any logistical constraints, alternating between active days and relaxing evenings. An ideal immersion for horseback riding enthusiasts seeking wide open spaces and rejuvenation in the mountains.


  1. To ensure the well-being of our horses, we impose a weight limit for each horse (between 55 and 80 kg maximum) . During these trips, the horses carry not only the rider, but also the weight of the saddle, saddlebags containing personal belongings, and the day's feed. The horses' carrying capacity is equivalent to 15% of their weight, including rider and equipment.

The highlights

  • Spectacular alpine scenery in the heart of the Cirque du Fer-à-Cheval
  • Majestic waterfalls and cliffs abound along the walks.
  • Vast unspoiled nature and an authentic mountain atmosphere
