Sea and mountain in the Agriates – Corte

Sea and mountain trek through the agriates 

Global introduction

Corsica like never before!

In complete safety, you will joyfully experience a preserved natural environment shaped by both maritime and mountain influences. The Corsican horse, small, determined, and sure-footed, will be your best companion as you explore transhumance paths, high plateaus, gorges, and paradisiacal beaches (long gallops, swims with the horses, and chasing wild horses).

You will contribute to the well-being of the animals by learning how to massage your horse and ensure its good health. You will share unique and memorable moments with your mount.

In the evening at the camp, you will enjoy the group's atmosphere, the friendliness, and a hearty meal prepared with healthy, natural products from our farm.

You will share powerful emotions with your horse, guide, and group... An unforgettable, 100% nature immersion!
