Intro

Upon entering the lift, visitors will see a marmot habitat spread out at their feet. A panorama-telescope permit one to observe the animals at play, while not disturbing them.

Five display panels depict how these animals spend their sommer, fall and winter. The hike takes about one hour. A barbecue facility at the Bettmer Lake is ideal for rounding off the adventure of observing marmots at close quarters.
