The benefits

of horse riding in the mountains

Horse riding at altitude combines the beauty of nature with a unique bond between rider and horse. A horse is much more than a means of transport: it is a trusted companion.

Unlike a bike or a car, a horse responds to your movements and senses your emotions. As you follow its rhythm and adjust your posture, you discover a subtle and rewarding way of communicating.

This special relationship makes every ride unique and offers an incredible feeling of freedom.

Physically, horse riding develops balance, posture, muscle tone and concentration. Emotionally, it provides a deep sense of relaxation and a stronger connection with nature.

Horse rides and trekking

for everyone

In summer, Le Corbier’s horses are ready to take riders of all ages along the alpine trails. From €18, you can enjoy a horse ride in the mountains, even if you’ve never ridden before. Several options are available:

  • Fun family rides: perfect for beginners and for sharing a memorable experience together.
  • Educational pony and horse activities for children: a great way to discover horses, learn how to guide them and better understand their behaviour.
  • Full-day horseback treks: ideal for more adventurous riders, with breathtaking panoramic views. Some excursions even include lunch in a mountain refuge, combining local gastronomy with an unforgettable riding experience.

In winter, the experience becomes truly magical. Snow-covered landscapes create a fairytale atmosphere as the horses quietly make their way through the white scenery. The silence of the mountains makes every moment even more special. A unique way to discover winter in the mountains beyond skiing or snowshoeing.

Riding centres

in Le Corbier

Two riding centres offer activities suitable for all ages and experience levels:

  • Écurie des Roches Noires: ideal for families with children. It offers horseback rides for adults as well as pony rides for younger children, with a strong focus on learning and fun.
  • Équi’Quality: offers riding lessons, activities for every level and superb full-day horseback treks. The highlight? Enjoying lunch in a mountain refuge surrounded by spectacular alpine scenery.

Both centres place great importance on safety, personalised guidance and respect for the horses.

Activities for families and children

all year round

Horse riding isn’t just for experienced riders. From an early age, children can discover the world of ponies, learn how to groom them, prepare the saddle and build confidence around these gentle animals. These first experiences are often filled with pride and excitement, creating the beginning of a special bond between child and horse.

Parents particularly enjoy the guided pony walks, where they can accompany their children step by step through an exceptional natural setting. Simple yet magical, these outings create precious family memories and unforgettable moments together.

For teenagers and more experienced young riders, longer and more adventurous rides are available under the supervision of qualified instructors. These horseback excursions offer the opportunity to explore further into the mountains, experience a true sense of freedom and develop riding skills in a fun and safe environment.

Summer or winter, every season offers a different experience. During summer, horseback rides reveal the full beauty of the Maurienne Valley: lush forests, flower-filled alpine meadows, sunny trails and breathtaking mountain views. The horse’s gentle pace lets you fully enjoy the scenery and the fresh mountain air.

In winter, everything changes. Snow blankets the landscape, silence settles over the mountains and every ride becomes a magical journey through a winter wonderland. Exploring these snowy landscapes on horseback is a rare and unforgettable experience.
