Trekking

We live with our alpacas here in the Solothurn Jura and look forward to hiking with you around Balmberg. Trekking is possible every day, all year round. Last-minute bookings are also welcome.

Alpacas

Like llamas, alpacas are a domesticated South American camel species. Unlike llamas, alpacas are smaller and have softer wool. Alpacas are also known for their peaceful nature. This makes them suitable for children aged 4 and above, and they are also used in animal-assisted therapies.

About

My husband Ernst Ryf and I, Elisabeth Bucheli Ryf, live on Balmberg and have been running the Tannenheim seminar and holiday home for over 20 years. Since 2009, we have also been keeping alpacas as an extension of our services. After many years as a nurse in Spitex/psychiatry, I now devote myself passionately to the alpacas in addition to the seminar house. My husband is responsible for maintaining the pastures, keeping the fences intact, and replenishing the feed. I enjoy leading treks with our beloved four-legged friends with great enthusiasm. We both enjoy the gentle, proud, and calm nature of these animals.
