Do you love the mountains but aren't sure if you could go on a trail ride?
Then we have the ideal alternative for you, where you can still ride in the Pyrenees and not miss out on anything.
So if you are not an experienced rider, perhaps lack the fitness for a trail ride in the mountains, or would like to holiday with someone who doesn't ride, you can get to know the Pyrenees and experience them on horseback. From the riding centre, you can go on half-day rides and even a full-day ride, allowing you to enjoy the magnificent mountain scenery.

And if some members of your family are not riders, they can go hiking or get beginner riding lessons. In your free time, you can relax or explore the mountains on foot. There are also many activities and beautiful places to visit in the surrounding area, such as a wildlife park, Lake Matemale, climbing, fishing and, of course, hiking.There is something for everyone during a holiday in the Pyrenees!

The Pyrenees are not just a spectacular mountain range, but also a region of natural diversity with numerous lakes, alpine forests, alpine meadows and rugged mountain slopes. This is the perfect destination for mountain lovers!
Located in the Pyrénées-Orientales department, the region also offers a wide variety of dishes to suit all tastes. Vegetables from the Roussillon plain, various mountain cheeses, sausages and meat products, and of course wines.

Close to the Spanish border, the region also has a lively history. The citadel of Mont-Louis, a World Heritage Site, is the best example of this.
