Full description

Croissant, Candy, Peach, Chocolat, Cream, Peanut... no, we are not trying to win you over with sweets, but with a family of sweet alpacas.

Join us for a 1-hour walk with these friendly animals through the woods of the Varaita Valley, in the province of Cuneo. During the walk, you can accompany the alpacas at their leisurely pace and ask the guide all the questions you want.

A perfect experience for children... or for tender-hearted adults!

What we will do

The appointment is in Venasca (CN), 10 minutes before the time chosen for the walk.

I will welcome you to my farm immersed in the nature of the Varaita Valley. First of all, I will take you to meet our cheerful family of alpacas: 15 specimens including males, females and puppies with names as funny as their little faces. Croissant, Bartali, Chestnut, Olivia, Candy, Peach, Chocolat, Cloud and many more!

In the first quarter of an hour, we will prepare the alpacas to accompany us on a walk by putting the halter on them and I will give you some directions on how to lead them. After leaving the farm, we will walk along a 4-km route through the Venasca woods, heading for the nearby village of Brossasco. We will follow the animals at their pace and stop to let them graze along the path.

During the walk you will be able to ask me all the questions you want, to satisfy any curiosity about this species native to South America. Of course, I will also take some souvenir photos that I will send to your phone at the end of the activity.

We will return to the starting point by the same route as the outward journey. Here, for those who wish, it will be possible to continue the day with a visit to our educational farm, which is home to many exotic and non-exotic animals: dwarf goats, chinchillas, squirrels, prairie dogs, and above all the mythical dromedary Horace. The visit (selectable when booking) will last about 1 hour.

Before returning home, you will also have the opportunity to admire and purchase, if you wish, our handicrafts made from alpaca wool. A tender souvenir of this experience!

The activity will last 1 hour and 15 minutes for the walk or 2 hours and 15 minutes if you choose to also visit the farm.

Who it is aimed at

The activity is open to all, with no age limit; children aged 0-2 years old participate free of charge. Children under the age of 6 cannot lead the alpacas alone, but must be accompanied by a parent. For minors , the presence of an accompanying adult is required.

The walk can also be done with trekking buggies, while it is not suitable for wheelchair users.

Other information

The activity is available every day of the year except Tuesdays and is confirmed with a minimum number of 2 participants (leading the alpacas).

A maximum of 10 animals are involved in the walk. You can take part in the experience as a participant, holding the animal by the halter, or as a companion, without holding the animal.

When booking, you can choose between the simple 'walk' or the 'walk + farm' if you wish to meet the farm animals up close. The guided tour of the farm will last 1 hour and can take place before or after the walk, depending on the time of year and in agreement with the guide.

It is also possible to enrich the experience with an aperitif based on local products at a cost of €20.00 per person to be paid on site: cold meats, cheeses and bread, either homemade or from nearby areas, accompanied by a drink; options for people with food intolerances and/or allergies are not available, options for vegetarians and/or vegans are available. Contact the guide at the contact details given in your booking confirmation e-mail to book your aperitif.
