Company Outing 2026: A Day with the Alpacas

On Tuesday, September 29, the whole institute left the lab behind for our annual company outing, this time with some very fluffy company.

We met at the Bio-Alpaka Hof near Seefeld, where the owner gave us a fascinating introduction to alpacas and their lives. Each of us then picked an alpaca of our own and set off on a walk through the woods. We learned a lot about the group dynamics within a herd, and we were all delighted by their soft, fluffy wool.

Back at the farm, the owner treated us to traditional Peruvian Pisco Sours, a perfect way to wrap up the hike.

In the afternoon we returned to Innsbruck for a delicious lunch at LeBurger, the new location in the RAIQA building near Bozner Platz.

Many thanks to everyone who joined and contributed photos. Here are a few impressions of the day:
