Description
Big Five Wildlife Spotting
At the foot of the Großglockner, armed with a spotting scope and binoculars from Swarovski Optik, you’ll set out to track down the Big Five in their natural habitat and get to know the inhabitants of the Alps.
With a little luck, you can spot and observe bearded vultures, golden eagles, ibex, chamois, and marmots in the wild. A breathtaking view of the Großglockner is included.
On NatureWatch tours, the national park becomes a living outdoor classroom for the whole family with children ages 6 and up.
