Description

On the worldwide unique signposted adventure and educational trail you will meet the furry hibernator in its natural environment. On the way you will learn a lot of interesting facts about the life of the marmots at eleven stations.

The nature trail leads from Loretschhus near Avers-Juppa to Alp Bergalga/Olta Stofel (2,074 m above sea level). The hiking time from/to Loretschhus is about 2 hours. The path is suitable for prams and is also suitable for wheelchair users with aids (e.g. Swisstracs). At the start of the trail there is a well-equipped barbecue area and a playground.

Here you will find various information about the nature trail as well as the texts for the 11 stations.

Any hiking trail closures/restrictions or diversions can be found here.

Geheimtipp

In the most beautiful sunshine between 12.00 and 15.00 o'clock, the marmots usually treat themselves to a siesta. Ideally, therefore, you visit them accordingly before or after. Binoculars are definitely recommended. The marmots usually hibernate from mid-September.

Sicherheitshinweis

On beautiful sunny days marmots love to take a siesta from 12 to 15. So, the best time to see them is before or after this break. To grasp more intimate details it is advisable to use a telescope. Typically, marmots hibernate from mid-September.
