Description
Who doesn’t remember their own youth – full of spirit and verve? Each year during the warm summer months, our one- to three-year-old Lipizzaner mares spend this part of their lives on the alpine pastures known as the Stubalm. They not only get the freshest grasses and the best alpine herbs, but also gain strength in their tendons and ligaments due to the uneven terrain. On our alpine pasture tours, you get to see the ‘young wild ones’ up close and learn more about the alpine life of our Lipizzaner youngsters.
