<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some premieres remain in memory. The Longines Global Champions Tour Vienna | Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace 2025 was one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of September 2025, the courtyard of Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace was transformed into a stage for the international elite of show jumping for the first time. Where millions of visitors usually experience the UNESCO World Heritage site, top-class riders met a backdrop that astonished even experienced athletes. Vienna thus became part of an exclusive tour that usually stops in metropolitan cities like Paris, Monaco, London, or Shanghai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For three days, Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace was the center of equestrian sports. International top riders, up-and-coming young talents, and equestrian fans from home and abroad experienced top-class competitions, exciting decisions, and an atmosphere that defined the special character of this tournament. The combination of top athletic performance, historical architecture, and Viennese hospitality lent the event a unique setting, unparalleled worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Longines Global Champions Tour Vienna was much more than a sporting event. It brought people together, opened up new avenues to equestrian sports, and made its fascination tangible for a broad audience. Countless special moments emerged between the courses, stables, and castle backdrop, which participants, visitors, and partners will remember for a long time to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With many emotional impressions, impressive athletic performances, and unforgettable images, we look back on an extraordinary weekend. Those who would like to revisit the most beautiful moments of the Longines Global Champions Tour Vienna | Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace 2025 will find numerous impressions of the successful premiere in our photo gallery. Among the sporting highlights was the Longines Global Champions Tour of Vienna Grand Prix, which was won by German rider Philipp Weishaupt with his gelding Kilmister on September 28, 2025, against the impressive backdrop of Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excitement is already building for the next edition: from September 24 to 27, 2026, the Longines Global Champions Tour Vienna | Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace will return, promising world-class sport and unforgettable moments in the heart of Vienna once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
