Family Holidays in the Puster Valley
A family holiday in the Puster Valley means nature, adventure and unforgettable memories. On our farm stays, children can explore freely, meet animals and discover the world in a playful way – while parents enjoy moments of peace. Here are seven experiences that make a farm holiday in South Tyrol truly special.
1. Feeding the animals & discovering farm life
For children, meeting animals up close is a highlight. On our farms, they can feed cows, goats or chickens, learn how the stables work and experience firsthand where food really comes from.
Ideal for: little explorers, young animal lovers
Tip: Many hosts allow children to join during milking or egg collection.
2. Outdoor play – nature as the ultimate playground
Fields, forests and streams offer endless opportunities for play and adventure. Nature encourages creativity, movement and curiosity.
Tip: on some farms there are play meadows, climbing towers and swings.
3. Kids World Olang – a forest adventure park
A large outdoor adventure park with climbing towers, suspension bridges, water features and forest play zones. One of the most popular family attractions in the region.
Ideal for: active children

5. A day on the alpine pasture
An alpine day out means animals, nature, streams to play in and traditional South Tyrolean dishes – a perfect mix for families.
