Imagine walking through lush mountain scenery, your own gentle llama by your side, then relaxing around a crackling fire with freshly grilled meats and vegetarian options. That’s exactly what this tour offers — a blend of outdoor adventure and good food, set in the peaceful hills of Liechtenstein’s Triesenberg.
What we love about this experience is the chance to guide a llama and enjoy the laid-back charisma of these animals, coupled with a cozy, delicious BBQ surrounded by nature. It’s relaxed, authentic, and surprisingly fun for all ages. The only thing to keep in mind is that it’s a relatively short experience — lasting about two and a half hours — so if you’re seeking a full day of hiking or more extensive sightseeing, you might want to combine it with other activities.
This tour suits travelers looking for a gentle outdoor activity that’s both playful and calming. It’s ideal for animal lovers, families, or anyone wanting to experience the Swiss Alps’ tranquility with a tasty reward at the end. If you enjoy nature, good company, and a bit of culinary fun, this is a memorable choice.
