Spring horseback riding from Cucugnan

Visit the Corbières with Cheval Cathare

Spring is a wonderful time to immerse yourself in the colours and scents of Mediterranean nature: cysts, aphyllanthes, linseed and broom are all in bloom for you to enjoy!

A perfect opportunity to visit the Corbières and discover its luminous, contrasting landscapes: holm oak forests, fragrant scrublands, rocky outcrops, wilderness, and more.

Come and experience our authentic region...

Day 1

Arrival the day before available, please contact me

Meet at 8:30 a.m. at the Cucugnan equestrian farm.  Introduction to the team, ride and horses.

Through vineyards and pastures, we arrive at Laprés Pass. Following the sentier du facteur (mail route), we approach the clear waters of the Agly River, pausing at the water's edge near a beautiful old stone bridge.

Night at the Bouchard lodge (game farm: wild boar, fallow deer, stags, etc.), with a breathtaking view of the two castles, the Galamus Gorges and the Pyrenees.

Day 2

A beautiful ride on Pic de Bugarach mountain, a mythical place that has inspired many legends. We ride along the forest tracks of the Eau Salée forest towards Trou de la Relhe. Our steps lead us to the Salz, a local geological curiosity whose flow and salinity vary with the seasons and rainfall. Through Bournasset Woods, we reach La Fage Pass, then head for Fourtou and finally Bouchard.

Night at the Bouchard lodge.

Day 3

A long, beautiful day through the state forests of the Hautes Corbières, via Cubières and the hamlet of Les Baillessats, we pass the Font Fourcade spring, then over Redoulade Pass and Cedeillan Pass, we arrive in Rouffiac des Corbières, picnic on the banks of the Verdouble, then continuing along beautiful shady paths that border the river, we return to the village of Cucugnan.

Arrival in Cucugnan late afternoon.

And so ends this wonderful adventure.
