Our special farm tips
If one day you don’t feel like hiking, you may enjoy a leisure day at the farm or accompany us in our daily farm work.
What is happening on our farm in the spring?
- Tires is in the heart of the mountains, however, on a sunny slope on the southern side of the Alps, and is therefore one of the sunniest corners.
- Already in MARCH there is no more snow at the farm, thus, no icy roads
