Age-old farming tradition

Hundred year old farmsteads

In no other valley in the Alps there is such a great variety of ancient farmsteads. The superb farmsteads, often older that 700 years, are like eagle‘s nests on the slope with a beautiful view on the valley, and some of them lie in the middle of blooming gardens. All of them witness the old tradition of “closed” farmsteads, which could not be divided up among heirs. And they also show how proud their owners are of their own tradition and origin, generation after generation. Today this allows you to live these significant monuments which are looked after with love.

Where do eggs or milk come from?

How does the latter turn into cheese? Such questions are certainly asked by children today, and Ober- niederhof, one of the most ancient farmsteads in the valley, will provide the answers. Here you can get to know the history of a farmstead as well as the stable animals. An interesting experience not only for the little ones!
