SPECTACULAR TRAIL RIDING ADVENTURES

 

 Alpine Stables is nestled in beautiful Cobble Hill at the base of Cobble Hill Mountain, 45 minutes from downtown Victoria. It is well worth the fabulous drive over the scenic Malahat Drive.

We offer picturesque guided trail rides with panoramic views of the San Juan Islands and the Gulf Islands, riding over farmland and woodland trails. You may choose a family and kids ride, or regular ride, or day/overnight tours with a choice of Western or English equipment. We offer riding lessons in both Western or English riding and have two rings for this purpose. Our instructors  are ready to improve your dressage, jumping and cross country skills. Our selection of schooling horses are suitable for beginners to advanced riders. We offer riding adventure day camps for all ages. There is no age limit for young children and all riders are provided with safety hardhats. Pony rides and birthdays for groups of ten and twenty children can be arranged.

Locally owned and operated, our family of certified outdoor adventure experts provides informative insight and in-depth knowledge of our unique habitat, combined with an unsurpassed nature-viewing experience. Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, was recently designated the Cycling Capital of Canada. The Galloping Goose Trail is our country's best-kept secret. Over 60 kilometres of former railway line starts in the spectacular Inner Harbour, crosses tidal bridges and roaring creeks, winds past sandy beaches and pristine lakes, and delights with every scenic surprise. Come and share the secret! With our mild climate year round, we can enjoy more outdoor recreational activities than anyone else in Canada. Victoria and the Gulf Island make up some of the most spectacular natural scenery in the world. What better way to see it than on our custom mountain bikes?

Enjoy the splendour of British Columbia's incredible scenery while benefiting from a little exercise. Tour the city, ride scenic trails through panoramic country-side, or hit single-rider dirt track on a quality bicycle from Cycle BC Rentals.

Choose from a wide selection of current model Norco™ bicycles in various styles and frame sizes including; full-suspension and hard-tail mountain bikes, hybrids, kid's bikes, trail-a-bikes, and tandems. From to senior, we've got you covered.
