Embark on a fun journey along the Marmot Trail at Betelberg in Lenk. This three-kilometre path is perfect for nature lovers of all ages. It starts at the Leiterli mountain station after your gondola ride from Lenk and ends at the Stoss mid-station. Along the way, you’ll discover the world of marmots, their alpine home, and their playful habits.
A special highlight is the walk-through interactive marmot burrow, where you get right inside their underground world. Throughout the trail, informative panels provide insights into marmot life and their ecosystem. Varied play stations like a wobbly bridge, a zipline, and a labyrinth add extra fun, making the Marmot Trail a great family adventure.
