A magnificent horseback riding trip. We highly recommend Manu and Claire's outing. Perhaps it would be helpful to mention in the information section to bring cash for the hostels that don't accept cards.

Wonderful stay in Haute-Savoie. We were a group of 8, mostly walking, sometimes trotting, with 3 short canter sections. The inn was friendly for the night, and the meals were hearty. I highly recommend this trip!
