Horse Riding in Austria 2025
Mount a horse and enjoy spectacular landscapes on horseback
Best time: May–October
If your hobby is horseback riding and you plan to visit Austria for a holiday, don't leave your hobby at home! A wide range of beautiful trails awaits you. The Innviertel Woodlands, between Salzburg and Passau, offer idyllic rides through a centuries-old forest, lakeside trails, and small traditional villages. A 200 km network of bridle paths in Salzburger Sportwelt is another great experience. The glaciers of the Ötztal Valley may suit you as well. Beautiful Tyrolean Haflinger horses bred and raised in Obergurgl are ideal partners for riders of all abilities, as they are sure-footed, calm, and reliable. On rainy days, you can still enjoy horse-riding in Salzburger Land in one of the indoor riding arenas. Riding stables are equipped for sporty riders as well as beginners and children.
