There are so many wonderful ways to explore the peak of emotions and its seemingly endless trails. Tours with animal companions make the surrounding nature tangible and experienceable in a unique way. Especially on a family holiday on the Hochkönig, an alpaca hike provides unbridled joy for young and old. A leisurely hiking tour with gentle companions ensures serenity, a conscious experience of one’s own surroundings, but also unforgettable moments.
Alpacas are actually at home in the Andes. They know mountainous, demanding terrain as well as strongly changing weather conditions, and so you will find the fluffy animals enjoying the fresh air, even in winter. This makes them wonderful hiking companions, because they just want to get out. In addition, an alpaca hike lends itself to valuable deceleration. The animals don’t know stress, and if they simply want to stop and chew some grass on the side of the path, then you take all the time in the world – at first inevitably, later very gladly.
Alpacas generally appreciate peace and quiet. Although they are considered social herd animals, they tend to flee in the presence of loud and shrill noises as well as jerky movements. This trains all participants in alpaca walks in restraint and thoughtfulness – even active kids who quickly become true animal whisperers.
At the summit of emotions you can hike with alpacas all year round. During these approx. two-hour excursions, of which around one hour is pure walking time, participants first get to know the animals, their way of life, how they are fed and how they are guided. Then it’s off to a relaxed tour around Mühlbach am Hochkönig – very relaxed and not too demanding. Dogs are not allowed on this excursion into the diverse nature. After completion and a small refreshment, products made from alpaca wool can be purchased.
The alpaca hike is available at a reduced price with the Hochkönig Card, which is already included in the holiday price experienceable. Enjoy these and other advantages as a guest of our house and request a non-binding offer today your Sonnenhof holiday!
