Description

The path tells the story of Niculin, a curious marmot from Silvaplana who wakes up alone after hibernation and sets out to find his colony.

His exciting journey takes him past six picturesque viewpoints around Silvaplana. Over 22 km, visitors experience a captivating audio story in several stages – ideal for a multi-day hike. At each station, a new chapter of Niculin’s adventure waits.

The route is partly stroller-friendly. For the ascent to the middle station Murtèl, we recommend using the Corvatsch cable car. Those who want to skip this part can find a QR code at the Corvatsch valley station with the corresponding audio content.
