What defines riding in Styria?
Western Styria's rolling hills and sun-warmed valleys earned the nickname 'Styrian Tuscany' for their vineyard scenery and culinary traditions. Piber, a stud in Styria, is where the celebrated Lipizzaner stallions of the Spanish Riding School are bred, a living equestrian legacy unique to this region. Upper Styria's rugged alpine highlands contrast sharply with the warmer wine country to the south, offering riders a striking change of terrain. Graz, the state capital, adds Renaissance character to a region already rich in landscape variety.
