Under the direction of Christian Marti, biologist

Have you ever listened to the song of a wheatear or watched the flight of a mountain or tree pipit?
On this weekend you will get to know the fascinating birdlife of the Aletsch region and learn how the mountain birds are adapted to the short summer and harsh winter.

After arriving at the center between 13.00 and 13.45, Christian Marti will welcome you. We will then go on an excursion through the Aletsch Forest to discover the typical bird species of a mountain forest and learn, for example, how nutcrackers and woodpeckers find their food in summer and winter.

At dusk on Sunday, we set off on an early morning birdwatching tour in the nearby Aletsch Forest. After breakfast, we will go on an excursion to the southern slope of the Aletsch region and visit the habitat of rock thrushes, stonechats and other interesting species. With a bit of luck, we might even spot a golden eagle. The weekend ends at around 3.00 pm.
