Panoramic horseback riding in the Vosges mountains

EXPERIENCED RIDERS : On the first morning, you'll meet the horses at the equestrian center and explore the surrounding forests to assess your skill level and get acquainted with your mount. Located at an altitude of 1099 meters, the equestrian center is a Natura 2000 protected site and is also the highest point in the Bas-Rhin department. In the afternoon, you'll head towards the small village of Hohwald. Along the way, you can admire its magnificent waterfall, one of the most beautiful in Alsace.

BEGINNER RIDERS : After a tour of the equestrian center, you'll meet our gentle Icelandic and Fjord horses—all suitable for beginners. During this first half-day, you'll get to know your new riding companion, the different ways to communicate with them, and their behavior with other horses. You'll learn how to groom, saddle, and bridle your horse. Then, you'll mount for your first riding session in the arena, followed by a trail ride through the forest surrounding the equestrian center. In the afternoon, you'll ride again towards the "high mountains," where a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and villages awaits. In the evening, you'll return to the equestrian center for dinner and an overnight stay in the guesthouse.
