Holiday Happiness with Real Insights into Farm Life

Even upon your arrival, you feel how everything seems to move a little slower. The air is clear, and in the distance, you can faintly hear the mooing of contented cows. The hosts warmly welcome you and give you the feeling of truly having arrived. Throughout your farm holiday, they share stories about life on the farm and show you what happens here every day. Alongside pigs, chickens, and sheep, you may also encounter some very special animal residents like alpacas or noble Wagyu cattle on certain farms. The farm is a vibrant workplace with established routines and much responsibility. To ensure everything runs smoothly during your farm holiday, visits to the stables and helping out with tasks in the stables or fields take place only by arrangement with the farmer. This way, the daily farm life remains balanced, and special insights can be shared consciously and safely. 

Choose your holiday home:

  • Appartments directly on the farm premises or 
  • Huts & Houses for Self-Catering Near the Farm. 

Right in the middle or with a bit of distance - decide for yourself how much farm air you want to breathe in.

A golden autumn on the farm 🍂

Where traditions come to life

As summer slowly draws to a close, the ‘Bauernherbst’ – one of the most atmospheric times of the year – begins.
The harvest is brought in, fresh local delicacies are served, and living traditions shape life on the farm.
During the traditional cattle drive, the festively decorated animals return from the alpine pastures down into the valley. Golden forests, crystal-clear mountain air and the colourful hustle and bustle of village festivals and farmers’ markets make autumn a very special time – full of enjoyment, warmth and authentic traditions.

Farm Holiday with Animals

The wonderful scent of fresh hay and wild herbs accompanies you through your break on the farm. The farm dog demands his cuddles, kittens purr around your legs, and chickens enjoy their sunbathing. At every corner, cosy spots invite you to pause for small moments. In the gardens, bushes full of berries await sweet-toothed visitors. You prefer to spend warm summer evenings with homemade bread on a stick and fresh sausages from the farm shop at the fire pit under the starry sky. With a bit of luck, a firefly might even dance by.
A father is kneeling on the grass, feeding a goat, whilst his daughter helps him. The children look curious and delighted as they watch the animals, highlighting the loving interaction between humans and animals.

Farm Holiday Well Organised

Our agricultural businesses are unique and diverse. Depending on the farm, you can expect different experiences such as feeding the animals, collecting fresh eggs, harvesting fruits and vegetables, or working in the fields. Each farm has its own rhythm and focus. If a specific activity is on your wish list, please let us know before booking.
This way, we can directly inquire with the landlord about how you can shape your farm programme.
And one more important note: Please accompany your little explorers at all times. The duty of care and liability during the entire stay lies with the parents and not with the host. This way, every adventure remains safe and relaxed for all involved.

Real winter moments! ❄️

Where tradition and cosiness are at home

The first snowflakes drift gently to the ground, and a sense of calm descends on the farmyard.

But it is precisely at this time that the barn comes alive: after spending the summer months on the alpine pastures, the animals return and spend the winter together in their warm home. Vast snowfields and slopes are transformed into a paradise for building snowmen, tobogganing and running about. During Advent, traditional farm customs are celebrated in style, lights adorn the farmyards and the scent of Christmas biscuits and fir branches fills the living room. On the farm, the magic of winter can be felt in a very special way.

FAQs: Farm Holiday

Is the Almliesl farm holiday suitable for families and children?

Yes. Farm holidays are very popular with families. Children, in particular, love being up close to the farm animals. Many farms have tailored their facilities to cater for young guests. When looking for accommodation, keep an eye out for the ‘Family Farm Holiday’ logo.

Can couples book a farm holiday at Almliesl?

Yes. A farm holiday is a great experience for anyone interested in farm life. What makes Almliesl special is that you can also choose and book accommodation close to the farm. These are self-catering properties located outside the farm grounds. This means you can decide for yourself how close you want to be to the farm’s daily activities.

What types of accommodation are available for a farm holiday at Almliesl?

The following types of accommodation are available for a farm holiday at Almliesl:

  • Self-catering huts, chalets and country cottages near the farm (off the farm grounds)
  • Self-catering apartments and chalets on the farm itself
  • ‘Your Bed on the Alpine Pasture’ – huts run by the farm, with meals available on request

 

What is the difference between “accommodation on the farm” and “accommodation near the farm” at Almliesl Farm Holidays?

Self-catering cottages, chalets and country houses near the farm are not located directly on the farm grounds. They are ideal for anyone who wants a little distance from the hustle and bustle of farm life, yet still wishes to enjoy the experiences and delights offered by the farm.

The self-catering apartments and chalets right on the farm are the accommodation options that are right at the heart of everyday farm life. Feed the chickens, stroke the kittens, jump in the hay or watch the bread being baked. Simply right in the thick of it and fully immersed.

 

Is the Almliesl a self-catering farm holiday? What meals are provided?

Generally speaking, the Almliesl farm holiday experience is designed for self-catering guests. Many of the farms offer homemade farm produce such as eggs, milk, bread and much more – these products can be easily incorporated into your self-catering arrangements. A separate bread roll service is often available on site. For farm accommodation at the managed alpine pastures “Dein Bett auf der Alm”, meals can be booked on site. Please feel free to check the detailed description of the accommodation or simply ask the Almliesl team directly. We look forward to providing you with comprehensive advice.

 

What can you experience on the farms during a holiday at Almliesl?

At Almliesl Farm Holidays, there are no fixed-time farm experiences. Farm life is far too varied and largely depends on the season – for example, cows may be up in the alpine pastures in summer, young animals are often born in spring, and the rutting season for wildlife watching is in autumn.
Let yourself be surprised by everyday life on the farm and feel free to chat to the local farmers to find out which activities offer a glimpse behind the scenes. Take note of the details in the accommodation description – here you’ll find out what’s going on at the farm, such as pony rides, alpaca treks, wildlife spotting, mushroom and berry picking, and much more.

 

What are the rules for a farm holiday at Almliesl?

A glimpse into farm life always offers a glimpse into a bustling workplace with set routines and a great deal of responsibility. The safety of everyone involved takes precedence over the experience. Every farm has its own rules to ensure its guests enjoy a carefree holiday, and these must be strictly observed. These range from visiting the stables and feeding the animals to handling tools, machinery or equipment. Parents have a duty to supervise their children at all times, especially when they are on the farm!

 

What animals can you find at the Almliesl farm holiday?

Depending on the farm, you may come across more than just the usual farm animals such as cows, sheep, goats or chickens. Some farms are also home to exotic animals, such as alpacas. There are often fenced-off areas with a small petting zoo. The rabbits, guinea pigs and baby goats are usually very tame and love being stroked.

Can you book an Almliesl farm holiday in winter as well?

Yes. The farms rent out their accommodation all year round. Only the mountain huts that are run as businesses can be booked during the summer season.
The Christmas season in particular is especially idyllic on a farm, characterised by rich traditions and cultural influences. During Advent, customs and a slower pace of life take centre stage – a unique opportunity to experience winter in the mountains.
