Bear adventure trail, S-charl

Theme trailHiking trail
Time required: 2 hoursLength: 1.70 km

Schweizerischer Nationalpark - On the bear adventure trail in S-charl children learn everything they wanted to know about bears at 9 different posts: What they eat, what traces they leave behind, how good their noses are or how children must conduct themselves in bear territory.

The experience lasts around two hours and begins at the Ravitschana post bus stop outside S-charl. At the end of the Senda da l'uors, the National Park's bear exhibition at the Museum Schmelzra offers even more bear-related information.
