Description

On the world's unique signposted adventure and educational route, you will encounter the furry hibernator in its natural environment. Along the way, you will learn a lot about the life of marmots at eleven stations.

The path is pram accessible and also suitable for wheelchair users with aids (e.g. Swisstracs). At the start of the path, there is a well-equipped barbecue area and a playground.


Here you will find various information about the educational path as well as the texts for the 11 stations.

Hidden Gem

In the nicest sunshine between 12 and 3 p.m., the marmots usually take a siesta. Ideally, you visit them accordingly before or after this time. Binoculars are definitely recommended. The marmots mostly hibernate from mid-September.

Safety Note

On beautiful sunny days, marmots like to take a siesta from 12 noon to 3 p.m. So the best time to see them is before or after this break. To capture more intimate details, it's best to use a spotting scope. Normally, marmots hibernate from mid-September.
