PROGRAM

Ride in France - Horse riding vacations in French mountains (Jura)

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 days week ends and 4 days week ends during all the winter period.
