Valais Blacknose Trek
Come trekking in the Ox Mountains along the edge of Lough Talt Lake, home to arctic char fish.
You will be walking with the sheep, if they decide to stop, you have to stop also. It will not be an energetic walk. Experience the mountain to one side of the walkway and the lake on the other side. There are plenty of rocks and heather banks to sit on and take in the views, smells, sounds of nature all around.We can have 4 to 8 Valais Sheep on the walk, 2 people per sheep. You must be 8 years of age to walk a sheep as a co-leader, but must be accompanied on a dual lead by an adult. From 12 years you can walk a sheep on your own but must be accompanied by an adult also. No dogs allowed. The duration of the walk is two hours. The path is gravelled with some small hills. The trek is 15 km from the farm.
Price:
€45 per adult and €25 per child.
Family rates available.

Nestled in the heart of the Ox Mountains, we run an organic sheep farm and grow Christmas trees for the local market. Our home is 100 years old this year, and is surrounded by mature trees which is a great asset for wildlife. Our daughter has a passion for Valais Blacknose sheep so we bought two sheep in 2022 and increased our flock to eleven sheep last year. We saw the idea of walking with alpacas so why not walk with Valais Blacknose sheep, voted the cutest sheep in the world?
