SCHOOL OF THE ALM

Alpine pastures are a destination of longing. They are synonymous with freedom, nature and tranquillity and a life with the animals on the mountain pasture - exactly what more and more people are missing. However, cultivating this cultural landscape also means hard work. If you would like to gain an insight into this everyday life, the courses at the School of the Alpine Pasture are just right for you.

The Schule der Alm in the Wipptal offers an alternative for all those people who value peace and relaxation and at the same time want to "ground" themselves through meaningful physical activities. At the same time, our guests make an important contribution to preserving the cultural heritage of Alpine pastures and mountain meadows in Tyrol. Helgas Alm" in the Inner Valsertal is at the center of the School of the Alpine Pasture. Those who take part in the basic courses experience how happy and satisfying physical work can be and how wonderful it feels to create something as part of a team and make a valuable contribution to the preservation of this cultural landscape.

Our special courses, such as the herbal coursesthe schnapps course, Alpine air and the scent of goats and the volunteer project alpine pasture and mountain meadow care provide valuable knowledge and many interesting insights into the craft of life on the alpine pastures and in the mountains.
Here you can immerse yourself in the world of mountain farmers and learn the most important work on the alpine pasture - all of this up close and personal at the School of the Alpine Pasture in Vals.
