We open the doors for you
into the fascinating and mystic world of the Grossglockner and the High
Tauern Mountains - outdoor, as we understand it. Come in and discover
the Moelltal valley surrounded by the High Tauern national park with its
Alpine landscape and beautiful horses. The imposing
mountains of the High Tauern range provide a
splendid backdrop for a truly enchanting vacation.
The High Tauern National Park lies in the heart of
the Austrian Alps. Covering an area of 1800 square
kilometers it is the second largest mountain range
in Europe. It is a landscape
made up of Austria's highest mountains, wide glaciers, Alpine pastures,
rocks, waterfalls, and ancient cultural landscapes. The difference in
elevation from the deepest valley stream to the top of the "Grossglockner"
(11,400’) mountain peak adds up to almost 7,800 feet.
Enjoy your vacation in a cozy romantic equestrian hotel with individually
furnished rooms and friendly hosts. Discover the beauty of the national
park on the back of Haflinger horses. You will
certainly remember the Neunbrunn water falls, the Apriach mills, the
canyons, or the excursion up the Grossglockner Mountain. The “Panorama
Starride” week includes 6 day rides that visit new breathtaking areas
each day.
Some weeks are available with a 3 day overnight trip into the grand
mountain scenery of the High Tauern - a great combination of star rides
from the riding center and overnight mountain rides with lodgings in
high alpine huts.
