A Swiss Ranger takes you on a half-day excursion to the UNESCO World Heritage Tectonic Arena Sardona. In the Calfeisen valley you enter the realm of the birds of prey. While we hike through the idyllic mountain landscape, our Swiss Ranger will give you interesting information about the way of life and the role of bearded vultures and golden eagles in Alpine ecology. You will learn to locate the birds of prey and, with a bit of luck, you can observe them while the Swiss Ranger explains their characteristics and behaviour. You may also spot other wildlife such as ibex and deer.
