Escuela de Equitación Val d'Aran

A family riding school on the outskirts of Vielha: horse rides of one to three hours, ponies, lessons and, in winter, horse-drawn sleighs at Beret.

The Escuela de Equitación Val d'Aran (Sascumes, S.A.) has its stables on the road to France, on the outskirts of Vielha, and has been taking people from the valley and beyond out on horseback for more than forty years. It is open all year: in spring, summer and autumn it runs rides through the woods and villages above Vielha, and in winter it goes up to Beret with horse-drawn sleighs.

The one-hour ride to Vilac costs €30; the two-hour one to Mont, €60, and the long three-hour ride, €90. Private, just for you, €60, €120 and €180. For under-5s there is a quarter-hour pony ride for €10, and one-hour lessons cost €35. Crossings of one or two nights are arranged to order. You do not need to have ridden before.

Summer at Beret

From 5 July to 15 September the school also has a base at the Pla de Beret, at 1,850 metres, from which rides leave across the plateau. Aran Experience, which resells its outings, gives a minimum age of 8 and a recommended maximum weight of 95 kg for the rides.
