After the gondola ride on the BergJet up to the Maschgenkamm, the hike begins. The guide knows the best places to spot the marmots, also known as marmots or marmots, and tells you exciting facts about their lives (in German). Their distinctive warning whistle can often be heard from afar. The guide will tell you how these fascinating animals live together as a family in their underground burrows and why they spend half the year in hibernation. Despite their caution, marmots are frequently encountered on the Flumserberg. With a little patience, you can observe how they search for food, play with each other or keep a close eye on their surroundings. Their ingenious warning system is particularly exciting: while a single whistle warns of attacks from the air, such as from a golden eagle, several whistles mean danger on the ground. The animals then disappear into their escape tunnels in a flash. The hike is led by a certified GeoGuide Sardona, who not only knows the best observation spots but also explains what makes this landscape so special and why it has been designated a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site.
The hike ends at Chrüz. From here, you can either take the chairlift back to the Bergjet valley station, use the Floomzer toboggan run for a speedy descent or walk back.
