Capricorn Guided Tour Spring Pontresina
Overview
Intro
Dozens of ibex grazing on the edge of the village, just a few meters away from you – this is something you can only experience in Pontresina.
When the meadows in the valley turn green but the snow still lies up to the tree line, Pontresina offers a phenomenon that can hardly be observed anywhere else. The king of the Alps comes down to the edge of the village to feed on fresh blades of grass. Directly behind Pontresina, dozens of ibexes, female ibexes, and their young graze to recharge their batteries after the long winter.
Under expert guidance, you can observe the ibexes during a wonderful walk in the ibex paradise of Pontresina and, with a little luck, learn exciting facts about the life and behavior of the Graubünden's heraldic animal.
Highlights:
Exciting insights into the life and behavior of the Grisons' heraldic animal – the ibex.
Itinerary:
The group hikes together from the community and convention center to the ibexes. The route may vary, as the ibexes are not always in the same place.
