With "Pirineos Ecuestre" you can choose from a dozen of the best Pyrenean routes, on both sides of the border: the French side, wetter and greener, the Spanish side, almost Mediterranean. Both of extraordinary beauty. Routes for experienced or intermediate riders, lasting several days, one or two weeks...

Professional guides, with experience and with official qualifications from the Spanish Equestrian Federation and the Higher Sports Council.

Adventure but with professionalism and safety. Our horses, docile but with enough nerve to climb wherever the path does not lead, are specially trained for mountain routes.

Linear routes and also star routes, for those who prefer the comfort of returning to the same hotel after a long day on horseback.

To enjoy nature, art, culture and gastronomy of the region.

From our Equestrian Center, located two km from Jaca, there are steep trails that go into leafy forests or get lost in the distance, behind a ravine or a bend in the road. Others follow, along the Camino de Santiago, the turbulent waters of the Aragón River that originates in the Astún glacier, at more than 2,000m, to flow into the Ebro in Navarre.

Pirineo Ecuestre offers an unbeatable comprehensive immersion program into the world of horse riding and horses with the opportunity to simultaneously learn and practice English, the essential language today, in addition to French or Spanish for students from abroad. It will always be done with teachers from the country of origin of each language.

All this against the backdrop of the Pyrenees, in an equestrian center located in the middle of nature with a rural hotel to accommodate young riders and horsewomen.

These are international camps for young people from 8 to 18 years old of all levels of both horsemanship and language, which begin on June 21 until August 30, in periods of one or several weeks.

The Pirineo Ecuestre summer camps have been chosen by the well-known VOGUE magazine among the five best sports camps internationally.

The teachers who make up our team are highly qualified and enjoy sharing their knowledge and passion for horses and nature, offering everything from initiation to perfection in numerous modalities within horse riding. We will learn, depending on the case, jumping, concepts about dressage or cross-country, what the western version of this sport is like, how natural dressage differs from all of them and what the hitch entails.

And of course all-day routes through our wonderful environment during which students will learn orientation techniques related to mountain survival.

The center has three sand courts, as well as two more grass courts. The function of one of the first of them is to meet the needs of reining. We have also had the collaboration of Albert Hermoso, European champion and Olympic rider, to design the configuration of the cross country circuit that we have.

Our equestrian program is complemented by seminars on veterinary medicine, hippology and ethology.

We have fifty horses of different breeds (KWPN for jumping), PRE, Anglo-Arabian, Spanish-Arab and American quarter horses trained to teach horsemanship at different levels.

Our equestrian teaching follows the methodology of the Gallops of the Spanish Equestrian Federation and students will be able to take exams at different levels during their stay.

- Students also receive two hours of language classes, which may be English, French or Spanish if the participants are foreigners. Native teachers coexist in the center, participating in leisure moments and recreational activities, allowing the promotion and practice of the language in a more spontaneous and natural way when carried out outside of lessons.traditional.

Language classes are taught outdoors or in places outside the school environment to highlight the playful aspect of learning, allowing the necessary effort to be more bearable and the results to be optimal.

The days of intense activity end with a yoga session (hatha yoga) to relax body and mind.

Participants stay in the rural hotel located in the same facilities, and share a room for four people.

On the other hand, to respond to family diversity, Pirineo Ecuestre offers a tennis program together with the team of the Jaca tennis and paddle club, Pyrenesport, with an excellent reputation. These students will receive three sessions of practice and game tactics, leaving one day for contests and competitions, and will join before lunch with the participants of the riding program. In the afternoon they will have two hours of language, plus one hour of horse riding. The schedules and prices are the same for both programs (from Sunday to Sunday, with the possibility of repeating a second or thirdweek).

Learning English by practicing horse riding or tennis, or a combination of both sports, is the best way to learn the language in a playful way, facilitating its assimilation during the vacation period.

Our Equestrian or Tennis English camps, or the combined Horse Riding and Tennis camps, include two hours a day of English classes with native teachers experienced in teaching this language to foreigners.

In addition to these 12 hours a week of classes, students live with native teachers and instructors with whom they will be able to practice English in a more playful environment, facilitating oral expression above all.

These are international camps with young people, ages 8 to 18, from very different countries, from the United States and Canada to England, China, Singapore, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, etc. Foreign students study Spanish at the same time that Spaniards dedicate themselves to English.

In this cosmopolitan environment, English becomes a "franca" language, facilitating communication between everyone.

Specific horse riding or tennis classes are taught in Spanish.

Students who choose horse riding will receive complete training in jumping, dressage, cross-country, introduction to western riding and how to work with cattle at the same time. Our teaching is based on ethological horsemanship and students will also receive classes on horse riding and care of the horse and its environment.

They will also enjoy the unique pleasure of riding in the middle of nature through our wonderful environment.

The tennis camps are held with the renowned Jaca Tennis and Paddle Club, which has excellent teachers in both racket disciplines.

The students will practice tennis in the morning, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., returning to our center by school taxi for lunch where they join the other students.

In the afternoon they will have English classes and games led by native teachers.

The small groups and levels, with a ratio of one teacher for every six students, allow highly personalized monitoring by our team of teachers and professional riders.
