Lama - Alpaca Meet & Greet
Alpacas are very good-natured animals, with a loving nature that is categorised as calming. You can take part in a meet & greet with us if you book in advance. During the tour, our expert Marina will take you to the Lama-Alpaca Ranch and spend an hour explaining everything you need to know about the alpacas. The alpacas and llamas can also be guided, stroked and fed. Take a leisurely walk in the enclosure together with the animals and experience the relaxing effect.
The difference between an alpaca and a llama
-
The size
While llamas reach a shoulder height of up to 130 cm, alpacas usually have a shoulder height of up to 90 cm. In general, llamas are also more robustly built and can weigh up to 160 kg.
-
The shape of the face
Alpacas have a more rounded and full face due to the wool, with a small nose and pointed ears. Llamas, on the other hand, have a more triangular head with a long nose and short fur around it. Llamas also have longer ears.
-
The wool
There is also a big difference in the wool. Alpacas are mainly bred for their exclusive and beautiful wool. The coat is beautifully even, dense and fine in texture. Llamas are pack animals, which is why their fur is shaggier and coarser than that of alpacas.
The Alpaca Meet & Greet starts from the Nature and Wellness Hotel Höflehner and takes you with our hiking guide Edith towards the enclosure, where the animals are already eagerly waiting for you.
