Holiday. Horses. Adventure. Fun.

Riding holidays at the Familiengut Burgstaller.

Horse riding on holiday at Lake Millstätter See - a special experience for young and old. On our 30,000 m² estate area with its own riding hall and riding arena, miniature shetties, ponies and horses await horse-loving guests. Whether it's first encounters with the animals, riding lessons with our riding instructor Lydia or guided rides - beginners and advanced riders will get their money's worth here.

But it's not just the riding itself that makes a stay with us so special. The respectful treatment of the animals, feeding and grooming are just as much a part of it. Children, young people and adults learn how horses are cared for, what they need and how to treat them.

The first contact is often made when grooming or leading the animals together before going into the 600 m² indoor or outdoor riding arena. If you feel confident enough, you can train on the lunge line, ride in the arena or explore the surrounding area on a guided ride. An experience that is not only fun, but also promotes confidence, skill and a feeling for the graceful animals.

Horse riding as a special holiday experience

Experience unforgettable equestrian moments in the midst of the idyllic Carinthian countryside! Whether beginner or advanced, children (from 6 years) or adults - our riding programme offers the right experience for everyone. From first lunge lessons to relaxed rides on picturesque bridle paths around the Lake Millstätter See - every rider's heart beats faster here. The care and respectful treatment of the horses are also part of the experience. Our 600 m² indoor and outdoor riding arena offer ideal conditions for training and riding fun. For a special time-out, you can also enjoy a cosy ride in our estate carriage.

A horse's life at the Familiengut

Our Familiengut is a place where everyone can feel at home - and that naturally includes our animals. Our hoofed animals have plenty of space and enjoy the freedom and fresh air at the Lake Millstätter See. Our guests can get close to them in their natural habitat. Watch horses, stroke and feed them, care for them lovingly and, of course, ride them. This is how relationships between humans and animals develop - and the riding lesson is not the only one on holiday.

Our four-legged friends are just as excited about your enquiry as we are.

The riding holidays come closer.
