The Haflinger horse - the blonde South Tyrolean original

When a horse becomes the symbol of an entire region, it must be something special. And that’s exactly what the Haflinger is: robust, friendly, versatile – and deeply rooted on the Tschögglberg high plateau.
With its golden-blond coat, gentle nature, and remarkable adaptability, the Haflinger represents not just a connection to the landscape, but a living piece of local culture. On the high plateau’s alpine meadows and forest trails, you can meet Haflingers in many ways – during a hike, a relaxed trail ride, a farm visit, or a traditional festival.

What makes the Haflinger so unique? Where does it come from? And why is it known far beyond South Tyrol?
If you take a closer look, you’ll discover not just a horse breed – but a real part of South Tyrolean identity.
Fun Fact
Today, there are an estimated 250,000 Haflingers worldwide – and they all descend from one single stallion: 249 Folie, born in 1874 in Schluderns.
This remarkable horse breed has its origins right here – in South Tyrol.
