Gstaad
Riding instructor in Gstaad
Gstaad sits at 1,050 metres in the Saanenland, a broad green valley of wooden chalets where building regulations have kept everything low and traditional. The skiing spreads across several linked areas rather than one mountain, which makes it forgiving terrain and a good place to learn.
Summer is the quiet secret: high pastures, long valley walks, and one of the best road cycling networks in the Bernese Oberland. The village is expensive and the coaching is not — the mountain does not charge extra.
Horse and stable are part of the booking
You do not need your own horse. The session includes a suitable horse matched to your level, which matters more than anything else about a riding lesson — a nervous rider on the wrong horse learns nothing except to be more nervous.
What a private lesson covers
Position and seat for beginners; flatwork and transitions for most; jumping or trail work for confident riders. Say honestly where you are when you book, including how long since you last rode.

Common questions
I have never ridden. Is that fine?
Yes, and it is a normal booking. The first lesson is mostly about getting comfortable and learning to stop.
What should I wear?
Long trousers and boots with a small heel. A helmet is compulsory and provided if you do not have one.
Can children book?
Yes, with instructors who work with that age group. Tell us the age and any previous experience.
