What it is
Horse rides through the Broto valley from Sarvisé, a village 3 km from Broto, along the valley’s old bridle paths. They are run by Caballos Casa Blas, a stable based on Calle La Iglesia in Sarvisé. No experience is needed, and the company presents its rides as relaxed outings for the family.
It is a good plan for a rest day between walks in Ordesa, or for an afternoon with children after the Estrecho waterfalls.
What rides there are
According to the Caballos Casa Blas website:
- 1-hour ride. The option for getting started.
- 2-hour ride. More time along the valley’s paths.
- Half day. A longer outing, with lunch included.
- Weekend or multi-day treks. For example, from Bujaruelo to Gavarnie, in France, or the route you ask for.
They also organise outings for groups, camps and celebrations, and combine the activity with other companies in the valley (archery, snowshoeing, rafting, paragliding, via ferrata or canoeing). On the farm they have farm animals, a vegetable garden and a team penning arena.
Price
The rate published on their website is:
- 1 hour: €20; under-12s, €15.
- 2 hours: €40; under-12s, €30.
- Weekend: price on request.
The price is per horse and rider and includes VAT and compulsory insurance. The website does not say which year these rates are from: confirm them when you book. The half day and the treks are quoted separately.
Season and booking
They are open all year. Outside the season you need to book ahead by phone, on 974 486 041 or 639 685 565. The company states that its guides are qualified, that it holds the required assistance and public liability insurance and that it belongs to the Aragonese Equestrian Federation.
Getting there
Sarvisé is on the N-260, between Broto and Fiscal, 3 km from Broto. The stable is at Calle La Iglesia, 1. If you are driving, the Broto petrol station is on the way.
Age, weight and what to bring
The website does not publish a minimum age or weight limit: if you are going with young children or have any doubts, ask when you book. The website also gives no clothing advice: sensible choices are long trousers, closed shoes and, in summer, a cap and water.
With children or a dog
It is a good activity with children, with a reduced rate for under-12s. The website says nothing about dogs: if you are travelling with yours, ask when you book.
Tips
- Start with one hour It is the shortest and cheapest outing: it lets you see whether you like it before trying a longer one.
- Call ahead outside the season Outside the season they only go out with a prior booking by phone.
- Ask about the half day It includes lunch and is the way to get furthest along the valley’s paths.
