Capricorn Guided Tour Spring Pontresina

When the meadows in the valley turn green but the snow still lies up to the tree line, Pontresina offers a phenomenon that can hardly be observed anywhere else. The king of the Alps comes down to the edge of the village to feed on fresh blades of grass. Directly behind Pontresina, dozens of ibexes, female ibexes, and their young graze to recharge their batteries after the long winter.

Under expert guidance, you can observe the ibexes during a wonderful walk in the ibex paradise of Pontresina and, with a little luck, learn exciting facts about the life and behavior of the Graubünden's heraldic animal.

Highlights:

Exciting insights into the life and behavior of the Grisons' heraldic animal – the ibex.

Itinerary:
