Description
Marmots are fascinating animals, comical creatures whose shrill warning whistles can be heard from far away. This path offers an ideal opportunity to watch the antics of these furry rodents, which live in burrows and are active by day. Walkers may be lucky enough to enjoy the charming sight of the young leaving the burrow for the first time.
- Appropriate for children from age 4
- Panels describe the life of the marmots (in German, English, French, Japanese)
- Wood sculptures along the trail
- Marmot observation posts at Sunnegga
