Nature in South Tyrol Vacation: Raffeiner Orchid Experience World

Due to the mild climate, orchids also thrive very well in South Tyrol. Countless different species can be admired in the Raffeiner Orchid World of Experience on an area of around 6000 m².

It can sometimes take four to five years for orchids to begin blooming, this development can be experienced up close in Gargazon, where the Orchideenwelt is located. The Raffeiner Orchids experience world is a family business that breeds and sells orchids of excellent quality, while also introducing them to all interested parties.

Experience for the whole family

For example, you can touch and feel the plant at various information stations; in addition, there is a tropical villa with a fantastic pond, a lake landscape with koi carp, and an adventure playground for the little visitors, ensuring that all age groups get their money's worth. The premises can also be rented for events, and during the autumn months, the pumpkin is the focus of a part of the exhibition.

Mountain Lory Parrots

Right at the entrance, visitors are also welcomed by mountain lory parrots, which are fed daily at 11 a.m. or 3 p.m. You can watch the colorful and lively animals up close; if you offer them some fruit, they might even perch on your arm with a bit of luck.
