Do you like to explore wild mountains on horseback ? Ride through breathtaking scenery in Kananaskis Mountain, in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. This stay is offered all year round with great flexibility: from 3 to 7 days, with 2 to 5 days on horseback. In summer, go riding and canoeing on the lake. Snowshoeing, skating and sleigh rides during the winter months. Massages can also be booked all year round.
Alberta has a ranching tradition that began in the late 1800s and continues today. Riding west from the ranch towards the Continental Divide, the landscape changes from a rolling ridge and open forests to high alpine meadows, thick primeval forests and limestone cliffs. The highest peaks in the region culminate at more than 3000 meters with glaciers and eternal snow. This variety of ecosystems gives richness and variety to each day of horseback riding.
This is an authentic and real adventure, with breathtaking landscapes, good comfort, and the opportunity to learn as much as possible about horses, horse riding, and nature...
