Playing with the Animals in Venosta Valley in South Tyrol

Small petting zoos on the farms and visitor centers in the national park

In the Venosta Valley holiday region, one is always in close proximity of nature. The small petting zoos are a favorite with the kids, with piglets, bunnies and guinea pigs all competing for attention. Several stables such as at the Hotel Lamm in Tubre/Taufers and the Ansteingut farm in Spondigna/Spondinig offer riding lessons and guided excursions on horseback. The Haider Alm Alpine Pasture has trekking tours on the nice and soft hump of a lama, which is popular with children. The National Park Visitors Center avimundus in Silandro/Schlanders houses an aviary, while the National Park Visitors Center aquaprad in Prato/Prad showcases the world of reptiles and amphibians.

Playing with Animals

Besides cats and dogs, Manuela also keeps rabbits, guinea pigs, quails and pigs on her farm. Even "Lady", the half-Arab mare and "Mitzi", the pony, are always ready to be petted on guided tours. Young visitors have the opportunity to learn how to treat animals and nature with respect.

More information about the event can be obtained from the respective Tourism offices Resia Pass.
