Murmeli-Expedition mit dem Betelberg-Ranger
Overview
Intro
On a marmot discovery tour with the Betelberg ranger
The Marmot Expedition
Accompanied by a ranger, participants will visit and observe marmot families near the mountain station Leiterli. Besides watching the animals, the ranger will introduce participants to the life of marmots: hibernation, food, enemies, communication, and anatomy are topics that will be playfully explored with visual aids and comparisons.
The highlight is not to be missed: binoculars out, focus, and observe the marmot family from a distance. A true nature adventure for the whole family!
