Discover Corsica's gastronomy and heritage on horseback – Corte

Experience Corsica in a unique way! Combine culinary delights with your passion for horseback riding.

In complete safety, you will joyfully experience the unspoiled nature of Corsica, shaped by both maritime and mountainous influences. The Corsican horse, small, determined, and sure-footed, will be your best companion as you explore transhumance paths, climb to mountain passes, discover monuments, and reach the beaches (with the possibility of gallops and swims with the horses).

You will enjoy the group atmosphere, the conviviality of the aperitif, and a delicious hot meal made with healthy, natural products sourced from our farm. You’ll also have the opportunity to taste local products from Corsican producers and learn about the island’s history, especially that of Corte.
Meetings and exchanges will be a highlight of your stay in Corsica.

You will share intense emotions with your horse, guide, and group... A 100% unforgettable immersion in the Island of Beauty!!
