Farm Holiday | Russbach in the Salzburger Land | Dachstein West

Alpacas have a special sense of calm about them. Their soft humming, their thoughtful way of moving and their relaxed interaction with one another create an atmosphere that naturally slows things down. There’s nothing you have to do, nothing to explain, nothing to seek out. Simply being there is enough.

At Reiters Ferienhaus, guests can feed the alpacas and observe them up close. When the moment feels right, the animals may also enjoy a gentle stroke. Everything happens without pressure, at your own pace and always in a way that feels right for the animals. For children, these encounters are something truly special. Many become quieter, more attentive, almost a little awed. Adults, too.

On a farm holiday in Russbach am Dachstein, the best things to do are often right outside the door. It’s about being close to nature, about honest impressions, and about small experiences that stay with you. The alpacas are just that – a calm, natural part of everyday life at Reiter’s Holiday Home.

They stand for what many people value in the Dachstein West region: authenticity, ease, and togetherness without rush. No spectacle. No schedule. Just animals being there. And people who appreciate it.

Surrounded by mountains, meadows and clear alpine air, Russbach reveals its quieter side. Encounters with the alpacas feel right at home here.
