The Lipizzaner Stud Piber
Nestled in the gently rolling hills of western Styria lies the picturesque village of Piber, which has been the birthplace of the Spanish Riding School’s famous Lipizzaner stallions since 1920. In Piber, it is easy to see why the Lipizzaners were the
Habsburgs' favourites: they are extremely intelligent, lively and people-oriented.
Visitors can look forward to a variety-packed experience in the picturesque landscape of the Graz region, just a few kilometres from the provincial capital of Graz. The historic stables and paddocks, the imposing baroque castle and culinary delicacies in the Café-Restaurant await you. Exciting events and a variety of experiences, such as guided tours of the stud farm, carriage rides and alpine pasture tours bring the world of the Lipizzaners to life. Child-friendly guided tours and numerous experiences especially for family are also on offer.
Those who want some action will find an action-packed challenge in the Piber climbing park, which has over 60 stations.
The perfect combination of traditional flair and exciting recreational opportunities makes the Lipizzaner Stud Piber a unique place for unforgettable experiences.
