    Tour description

    The alpine meadow below the Bachlalm is home to the cute marmots. The little animals are used to humans and can be fed with carrots and seeds. Please do NOT feed the animals with sweets. Be aware that the animals are wild and as rodents they can bite well. In order not to frighten them, you should aproach them very carefully.
