Family farmstay holidays in Sweden

About half of the country is covered by forests, with countless picturesque lakes in between. As one of the most sparsely populated countries in Europe, Sweden evokes a feeling of sprawl and freedom for many. Escape the worries of everyday life and let yourself be carried away by the Scandinavian serenity. Sweden is the perfect destination for a relaxing farm vacation with the family.

Family farmstay holidays in Norway

Since time immemorial, many farmers have taken their cattle to graze on small alpine pastures high up in the mountains during the summer. In the past, the dairymaids stayed in these small traditional huts for this time to watch over the herd. Today, many farms offer families the opportunity to spend the night right there during the summer months. Enjoy the fresh mountain air in this picturesque landscape while listening to the tinkling bells of the goats that complete the idyll. Many farms also offer freshly churned butter, cheese, sour cream and goat's milk sweets from their own production.

Many farms in Norway also house alpacas and lamas, as they use the warm wool to produce knitwear. Many offer the opportunity to take the animals out for walks - a highlight for younger guests!

Family farmstay holidays in Denmark

It is not without reason that Denmark is repeatedly ranked among the top countries when it comes to quality of life. With over 7,300 km of coastline, it is almost completely surrounded by the sea. Added to this is the incredible extensive nature in the hinterland. Who couldn't relax with so much pure nature? With mudflat walks, kite buggy rides on the beach and countless hiking and cycling trails along the impressive fjord landscape, there are plenty of activities for the whole family.

In addition, the Land of the Vikings also offers plenty of culture, which can be explored in a playful way at the Jelling Adventure Centre, for example.

Family farmstay holidays in Austria

More than half of Austria's area is covered with alpine high mountains, making it a true paradise for hiking enthusiasts. Both the mountains and the magnificent valley landscapes invite you to explore on foot. Whether it's a hike or simply a leisurely stroll to enjoy the sun and the chirping of the birds. What could be more idyllic? If you feel like a little more action, you can explore nature on an exciting mountain bike tour.

If you enjoy spending time in the fresh air with your loved ones, then a farm holiday in Austria is just the thing for you.

Family farmstay holidays in Switzerland

Switzerland impresses above all with its incredibly picturesque nature. The Berner Oberland is considered one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. Marvel at the snow-capped mountain peaks, the brilliant blue lakes and deep green forests from one of the numerous viewing platforms. Further south in the country, you will find an almost Italian flair. The canton of Ticino impresses with an equally magnificent mountain landscape and a Mediterranean climate. Tradition is written in capital letters here, which is evident both in the way of building and in the way of life.

Throughout the country you will find a great selection of farms and alpine pastures offering accommodation for families.
