📍 Murmeltier Area @ Saas-Fee 🇨🇭 🦫 Peaceful Trails & Marmot Encounters in the Alps

This peaceful mountain trail offers one of the best chances to see wild marmots in their natural alpine environment.

🌄 Hiking Experience The path is easy and enjoyable, weaving through open meadows with stunning views. We started our hike in light drizzle and were rewarded later with clear skies and serene surroundings.

🐾 Marmot Sightings • We spotted multiple marmots along the trail—some were even brave enough to approach. • They seem to enjoy peanuts, which made for some adorable, close-up moments. • ✨ Important: Please keep voices low and move calmly so as not to frighten or stress the animals.

🌿 Respect for Nature It’s a rare treat to encounter wildlife this closely. Observing quietly ensures others get to experience it too. No feeding from the hand or chasing.

⏰ When We Visited Late morning on a weekday in summer. Few people, mostly locals, which made the experience peaceful and unhurried.

📸 Tip Bring a zoom lens or binoculars if you love wildlife photography, and pack a small snack while...

Not as many marmots this year, but still after an hour we found a few and even got to feed them. Price of cable is still preety expensive. At noon they might be sleeping ao take it...

They are just everywhere and extremely social. Don't forget to pass by Coop/Migros to but carrots (or peanuts), they'll love it. Please don't feed anything...
