The Kaserhof, or Mair am Kaser farmstead, located in Soprabolzano at 1,320 m a.s.l., is really versatile: Since 1990, the popular family destination has been dedicating itself to the breed of full-blooded Arab horses and is considered the highest located stud of Europe. Since 1996, the Mair family also breeds llamas and alpacas. This oldest and biggest llama farm of Italy bears the name "de Oro" and is by the way one of the most successful on European scale.
By arrangement, you can take the leash for a 3.5-hour walk with the llamas. The intelligent and docile animals carry the bags, and together you'll walk along the old Roman Road towards the Earth Pyramids of the Renon. Once reached the natural monument, you can enjoy a traditional snack with South Tyrolean Speck. Also several-day-tours in the mountains and intensive courses for llama breeders and owners are offered. The farm has also a role to play in healthcare and Pet Therapy, as the interaction with the llamas has a positive impact on body and soul.
Goose, chicken, ducks, dogs, cats and Scottish Highland cattles complete the wide range of animals. The beautiful farmstead was reconstructed in 2002 and provides also holiday apartments and a tavern that is ideal for an afternoon chat with natural playground. And how to reach the Kaserhof? It can be found in Via Geirer road in Soprabolzano, a parking place is available.
