Why farm holidays are so popular
A farm holiday means a break in the heart of nature, close to animals, and with plenty of room for adventure. Whether on a farm in the Alps , a holiday farm by a lake , or right by the sea , here you'll experience true relaxation, far from everyday life.
What awaits you on a holiday farm
Many farms offer animal experiences with cows, sheep, goats, or horses. Children can feed and pet the animals, and help with the stable work. There are also numerous recreational opportunities such as hiking, biking, horseback riding , swimming, and, in winter, even skiing right on the farm . Gourmets can look forward to regional specialties and farm-made products.
Family-friendly farm holidays with added value
