Who it's for
From age 8, without ever having ridden

La Hípica de Llívia organises horse rides every day from the Antic Camí d'Ur, on the outskirts of Llívia. It is the simple option for trying the Cerdanya on horseback: a guide gives instructions before setting off, accompanies the group the whole time and adapts the route to the level of those riding.

What is included and how much it costs

The rides last around an hour and can be extended. The rates the riding school publishes, labelled as 2023, are €25 for one hour, €32 for an hour and a half and €40 for two hours. For little ones there is a pony in 30-minute sessions (€12), always with an adult alongside. It also organises long-distance routes, with the price to be agreed. As the rates are some years old, confirm the price when you book.

Age and rules

The rides are for anyone from age 8, even if they have never ridden. A helmet is compulsory and the centre recommends a protective vest, especially for minors, and gloves. Minors must be accompanied by an adult on the premises.

When to go

From May to June and from September to October there is more light and less heat than in August. In winter, with snow, ask whether there is a ride.

How to book

Through the form on its website or by phone: 676 229 505. The address is Antic Camí d'Ur s/n, in Llívia.

What to bring

Long trousers, closed shoes, and layers according to the season: in the Cerdanya mornings are cool even in summer.

To combine with

The Puigcerdà lake is a few kilometres away and makes a short walk before or after.
