Intro
From the Ofen Pass forests to the high alpine meadows with rich flora and fauna and magnificent views over half of the National Park. The nature trial provides interesting information about the open and hidden secrets of the trail.
Description
The trail begins in the middle of the extensive Ofen Pass forests and winds through a jumble of living and dead trees. This is typical of a National Park, where the nature has been left completely to her own devices. The boards along the whole of the nature trail provide interesting information.
Marmots can often be seen on the Stabelchod Alp. The path goes up past the artificial eyrie, where 26 bearded vultures have already been released into the wild. Alpine meadows with their beautiful alpine flora of gentian and edelweiss lead you up to Margunet, where there is a stunning panorama over half of the National Park and the glacial landscape formed during the last ice age.
Golden eagles and chamois can often be seen here, and sometimes even bearded vultures. The trail continues through the Val dal Botsch past impressive scree slopes and rock formations back to the pass road. After crossing the Fuorn stream you reach the Hotel Il Fuorn.
An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
