Imagine pony trekking or horse riding on mountain paths in lush green forests, crossing mountain streams, the sun streaming through the trees,  with snow-capped peaks providing the perfect alpine backdrop……. and there you have it, the Chamonix Valley and the fabulous Mont Blanc Equestrian Centre.

Situated in the hills of Les Houches in the Chamonix Valley, Mont Blanc Equestrian Centre is open to the public seven days of the week and accommodates all levels, from complete novices to competent riders. So whether starting off, or an experienced rider, there is something for all abilities and interests.

A relatively new pony trekking and horse-riding centre (opened in 2012), the Chamonix Mont Blanc Equestrian Centre has both a large indoor and outdoor arena, as well as beautiful trails on its doorstep (literally) providing instant access into the mountains for pony trekking and horse riding trails into the mountain countryside. But it is far more than a trekking centre, as well as trail riding (including trail riding for complete beginners), the riding school also provides excellent tuition in general riding, dressage, and show jumping for all levels.

Situated at the top of the Chemin du Paradis in Les Houches, this fabulous, modern centre houses 40 stables, providing a home for the Centre’s ponies and horses, as well as private owners. And with circa thirty ponies and horses at Mont Blanc Equestrian Centre’s disposal there is always a pony fand / or horse or all abilities, ages and sizes.

One of the standout features for us of the Chamonix Mont Blanc Equestrian Centre, for us at Chamonix Exclusive is the terrifically warm welcome that Christophe and Cathy will provide, notwithstanding the fabulous tuition too.

Morning, afternoon, and full weeks courses and tuition are available. But please note, that their success has probably even taken them by surprise and as a consequence peak times do get booked quickly, particularly weekends, and in summertime just generally, so we advise pre-booking, ideally prior to arrival to avoid disappointment.

Equipment, such as hats and body protection vests can be supplied if required, although shoes / boots are not. Please therefore either bring your own or sturdy footwear suitable for riding.
