Guided excursion Margunet
Overview
Intro
The hike leads through typical mountain pine forests via the Margunet viewpoint, where, with a bit of luck, we may spot chamois, deer or bearded vultures. The descent leads us into the Val dal Botsch.
The hike leads through typical mountain pine forests to Alp Stabelchod - one of the world's best-researched pastures. After a somewhat steeper zig-zag section, we catch sight of the rock cave where bearded vultures were released from 1991 to 2007. Between edelweiss and gentian, we climb up to the stunning Margunet viewpoint. We stop there for lunch and may spot Alpine choughs or, with a bit of luck, chamois, deer or bearded vultures.
On the descent into the Val dal Botsch, we experience the transition from the alpine meadows to the mountain pine forest. Debris flows bear witness to the erosive force that characterizes this landscape.
