Experience mountain living with our family in Tiers, Italy

Details

• 

  Description

  Our small family lives on a small personal farm in the Dolomites, 30 km from Bolzano. We are Evelyn, Sebastian, and little Alexander and Naomi. We live just outside the village center and have a beautiful view of the mountains. We chose to live on our small farm because we value homemade food and want to contribute to biodiversity through our work on our small farm.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  You'll learn to cook traditional South Tyrolean dishes and improve your German and Italian language skills. You'll be able to handle animals with confidence and gain insight into beekeeping. We're very close to nature, and you can join us for wildlife observations. In your free time, you can hike in the mountains; we have many beautiful hiking tips for you. In summer, there are also village festivals, and you'll meet new people with us. In winter, the ski slopes are accessible by public transport. We're looking for curious people who value cleanliness but still like to get dirty! We're open to different cultures and would love to get to know you!

  Help

  Together with us, you will experience the everyday life of a mountain farm and support us with our daily tasks.
  
  We are looking for animal-loving people who would like to accompany us on our daily routine and, by helping out around the house, get to know our farm way of life. We would be happy to show you how to care for our pony Lampo and our donkey Josephine and her foal. Every spring and fall, our ten sheep are taken to our home pasture, and they spend the summer on the alpine pastures. We love our hobby beekeeping, and you can learn the basics of beekeeping. During the summer months, we welcome help with haymaking on our steep mountain meadows. Important for us is, that you have experience with small children!
