Peaky Place – The Hedgehog Bike Hotel in Laax: Designed by mechanical engineer Josua Glünkin, Peaky Place is a miniature version of Peaks Place in Laax – tailored for hedgehogs who enjoy the forest trails before settling in for rest.

A cozy sleeping area in the back offers shelter, while two green rooftop sections provide food for insect and bird visitors. The playful highlight: a tiny pump track on the roof – just in case a little guest arrives on wheels.
