3 Reasons

Thrilling rides

Horseback riding provides a special way to explore the iconic wilderness of the Alps. Instead of using your own hands and feet to get to grips with the wild, hop on a well-trained horse and enjoy the fresh, clear air while riding it through the plains and meadows.

French glamour

The French Mediterranean coastline ‒ also known as Côte d'Azur ‒ blends awe-inspiring landscapes, exclusive resorts and first-class cuisine and wines. Nice is the most important hub to start exploring the area. Other must-see include Cannes, Grasse ‒the perfume-capital with its lavender fields ‒ as well as Marseille.

Iconic Alps

The French Alps are an invitation to explore the outdoors in all possible ways. The charming town of Chamonix, lying at the foot of the Mont Blanc massif and the Aiguille du Midi, makes a great starting point. To the south, three stunning national parks ‒Vanoise, Ecrins and Mercantour‒ allure horse riders from all around the world.
