Set inside a working farm in Cembra Lisignago, this two-hour Alpaca Experience is a gentle, family-oriented introduction to alpacas and other barnyard residents. Participants learn about the animals at the enclosures, help with feeding, share a short guided walk with an alpaca, then cap the visit with a small exam to earn a 'Patente Alpaca' and an apple-juice toast.

THE ANIMALS

Meet Alpacas and Farm Companions

Up close beside the enclosures you'll meet the alpacas and other charming farm animals — from large rabbits to hens, horned sheep, guardian dogs and resident cats — and learn their habits and care.

THE WALK

A Mini-Passeggiata with an Alpaca

After a period of getting comfortable with the animals, the group undertakes a short, guided walk with an alpaca inside the farm; the walk itself lasts about fifteen minutes and is suitable for families.

THE FINISH

Patente Alpaca and Apple-Juice Toast

The activity concludes with a playful theory-and-practice check: participants who pass earn a 'Patente Alpaca' and everyone shares an apple-juice toast to celebrate the experience.

What the day feels like

What the two-hour experience feels like

Guides introduce the herd at the paddocks, sharing curiosities and practical handling tips; you’ll feed hay, stroke fleece, meet other farm residents and, once comfortable, join a brief, supervised walk. The pace is deliberate and accessible — aimed at families and anyone seeking contact with alpacas without committing to a long trek — and ends with a light, celebratory ritual awarding the participant’s 'Patente Alpaca.'

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this experience suits — and who should reconsider.

1
Active FamiliesWell suited: the program is designed for families and children, with hands-on animal contact, a short walk and family-oriented pacing; children cannot participate alone and infants (0–2) attend free but must be carried during the walk.
2
Parents with InfantsAppropriate if you can carry the infant: strollers are not permitted during the mini-walk, so babies 0–2 must be held or transported in a carrier, baby pack or sling for safety.
3
Dog OwnersNot a good fit: dogs are not permitted during alpaca activities — there are no exceptions because alpacas can be stressed by unfamiliar pets.
4
Non-participating CompanionsNot suitable: everyone present during activities must be a registered participant; non-paying companions cannot remain on the farm during the experience for safety reasons.

Frequently asked questions

Planning Your Outing

Posso portare il mio cane?

No. Non è possibile portare cani durante le attività: gli alpaca non conoscono gli animali domestici e potrebbero innervosirsi; non si fanno eccezioni.

Posso restare in fattoria se accompagno persone prenotate ma non voglio partecipare?

No. Per ragioni di sicurezza gli accompagnatori non possono restare nella proprietà della fattoria durante lo svolgimento dell'attività; vi possono essere trattori o macchinari in movimento.

È possibile partecipare con un bimbo molto piccolo?

Sì. I bimbi 0–2 anni partecipano gratuitamente, ma durante la mini-passeggiata non possono essere trasportati in passeggino: devono essere tenuti in braccio o in zaino/marsupio/fascia.

Ci sono eccezioni alle regole sui cani o sugli accompagnatori?

No. Le regole sono ferme: non è permesso portare cani e gli accompagnatori non partecipanti non possono rimanere in azienda durante l'attività.

Se ho altre domande a chi mi rivolgo?

Per qualsiasi altra domanda contattate l'operatore; è disponibile a rispondere a richieste specifiche.
