At this adults-only retreat, everything seems designed to slow the pace… before picking up speed. Because here, the star is the horse—specifically the seven majestic Lipizzaners, living symbols of Central Europe’s equestrian tradition, that of the Habsburgs.
The estate features its own riding school, complete with an outdoor arena, a large indoor riding hall, and a light-filled stable. The perfect opportunity to enjoy authentic equestrian experiences—first rides, private lessons, lunge work, advanced training, or simply a contemplative ride at the foot of the Karwendel Mountains in Austria.
The most curious can even try their hand at the art of dressage, practice haute école, or embark on a carriage ride straight out of a Tyrolean postcard.
And when the Lipizzaner horses gallop across the pastures at sunset, you realize just how much the hotel has made horseback riding its true signature. Between riding sessions, guests can enjoy the rest of the estate, a vast haven of well-being featuring indoor and outdoor pools and a labyrinthine spa.
The rooms, meanwhile, feature a variety of styles, including the Signature Suites with their warm tones blending light wood, clean lines, and artisanal elegance. Opt for the suites that open directly onto the pastures, serving as a constant reminder that the Tyrol is best savored in the great outdoors.
