JURA : WINTER HORSE RIDES IN THE SNOW...
Guides - Accomodation - Dates & rates - Book this ride
|
Discover a remote region made of lakes, mountains and waterfalls,
with strong traditions and proud of its preserved environment. On experimented horses, join us for an unusual adventure : a riding trail in the snowy mountains, around the lakes or at higher altitude, to enjoy long gallops in powder snow and appreciate the silence in the snow covered forests... Those weekends are fully booked very quickly, to join those rides you have to book early... See also our summer rides in Jura, in lakes area, in High-Jura and in Revermont vineyards. |
RIDE ITINERARY
Riding in winter in the snow is a rare experience. You will enjoy
very different feelings, and discover an incredible landscape
of frozen lakes and white forests. Our strong horses are perfectly
adapted to this rough environment.
These trails depend on climatic conditions : a pass can be open
one day, and closed the day after.
That's why the daily itinerary - between 15 and 20 km - is not
scheduled and depends on the conditions we meet. Opportunities
of experiencing great riding moments are always the target, in
High-Jura as well as in lakes area.
We organize 2 and 4 days weekends on horseback during all the
winter period.
The meeting point is given on day one at 8.30am to the riding center. The ride end the last day around 5.30pm.
If you come by train, you'll have to arrive one day earlier, to be ready the morning of day 1.
