A horse is the most environmentally friendly, most reliable and logical transport in the mountains!

Historically, any human activity associated with the mountains could not do anything without the help of a horse. People rode horses on a hunt and brought home their prey, went on the horseback to visit friends and relatives in distant mountain villages, grazed cattle using the horses and protected their lands from enemy raids. Even the robbers could not go for their tricky business without help of the kindest and most useful creature - a horse.

Recently we start to compose our collection of the horse riding routes in the mountains. Unlike mountaineering or rockclimbing, this direction has not yet revealed its full potential and attractiveness - with each new route we find something fresh, new ideas appear and unexplored places are discovered.

A feature of the MCS AlexClimb mountain route collection is that we develop programs from scratch - this principle is preserved in any of our directions - whether it is climbing the summits or special climbing training programs - we develop all these activities from the very beginning, exploring all the features of the terrain - and only after that we invite you to evaluate how good is our work.

What is mountain horseback riding tours?

After mountaineering and rock climbing, the closest the mountain theme after climbing, in my opinion, is the horseback riding in the mountains. Our horseback riding mountain tours are multi-day activities that involve passing some kind of the fixed route. Technically, these routes are not particularly difficult - there are no serious obstacles, day trips are limited to a comfortable distance of 20-30 km (5-6 hours on horseback). There are no sporting tasks or obstacles that require special physical training on the horseback riding. However, it should be understood that travelling in the mountains, whatever it may be, requires certain tourist skills (sleeping in the tents, cooking, etc.) and an understanding that mountain terrain of any kind can be a danger to the careless or overly self-confident person.

Horseback riding in the mountains is your opportunity to visit the most inaccessible, most remote and beautiful mountain regions, where it is impossible to get by car, and very difficult to get on foot. Unlike mountaineering, in horse riding routes we do not set for ourselves any ambitious goals, the shining peaks, in this case, only decorate the landscape and threaten us only with the fact that we can unexpectedly fall deeply in love with them distantly.

Horseback riding tours do not require long and tedious training and any special physical form from you - there will be no excess physical load as in the mountaineering, nor the need for precise coordination, as in rock or iceclimbing. All that is necessary is to love nature and horses, strive for beauty and appreciate those unique moments that the closest contact with the living and unique world of mountain peaks gives us.
