BIG FIVE - Wildlife observation

Big Five wildlife watching

At the foot of the Großglockner, we set off with spotting scopes & binoculars from Swarovski Optik in search of tracks in the habitat of the BIG FIVE and get to know the inhabitants of the Alps. 

With a bit of luck, the rangers will spot bearded vultures, golden eagles, ibex, chamois and marmots in the wild with their trained eyes. 

Dreamy views of the Grossglockner included.

On the NatureWatch tours, the national park becomes a living classroom in the open air for the whole family with children aged 6 and over.
