Low season May, June, September, October and November:

Between the sheepfold visit in winter (exclusively on Wednesdays between mid-December and mid-April) and the "Meet the sheep" in summer (approx. mid-July to early September), the animals are on holiday and stay in the mountains without a GPS tracker. The hotel receptionists have no information about where the animals are in May, June, September, October and November. Unfortunately, we are also not informed where other shepherds' animals are staying or where else you can visit black-nosed sheep. We ask for your understanding that our barn is closed from mid-April to mid-December and cannot be visited.
