On the trail of marmots
Free guided excursion for families and children at Ciampac
Get ready for a high-altitude adventure along the Marmot Trail at Ciampac, an easy 2 km route suitable for adults and children. Accompanied by an expert guide, we will discover the fascinating world of these cute mountain dwellers. As we cross the alpine meadows, we will learn to recognise the marmots' burrows, connected by an intricate system of underground tunnels. With a little luck, we will see them peeking out of the bushes, alerting each other with their high-pitched whistles or running clumsily among the rocks. An authentic, fun and educational experience, perfect for introducing children to nature up close.
