Aya'Cheval – Horse Riding Trips and Treks in the Combrailles

Discovering the Combrailles at a horse's pace

Based in Ayat-sur-Sioule, in the Puy-de-Dôme, Aya'Cheval invites you to explore the landscapes of the Combrailles on horseback or on a pony. Setting off from the riding centre, tracks, hedgerow countryside, woodlands and streams make ideal terrain for discovering the Sioule valley.

Rides for every level

Whether you are a complete beginner or a more experienced rider, several options let you enjoy riding out in the open countryside. Horse rides can last one hour, two hours or half a day. For younger children, lead-rein pony rides are also available.

For those who want to take the experience further, Aya'Cheval also organises treks and riding holidays that explore more of the Combrailles, the Sioule gorges and the volcanic landscapes of Auvergne.

Another way to explore Auvergne

From the saddle, the region reveals one striking landscape and landmark after another: Château-Rocher, the Queuille meander, the Gour de Tazenat crater lake, the banks of the Sioule, and the forests, ponds and plateaus of the Combrailles are among the destinations on offer, depending on the route.

Aya'Cheval also runs courses and a range of stays for young people, adults and families. A lovely way to combine horse riding, nature discovery and a holiday in Auvergne.
