Programm

An exciting adventure on the Niederhorn awaits you on Rocky Day! ‘Rocky’, our cheeky ibex, welcomes all children at the Niederhorn mountain station and hands out the Alpine orienteering maps for ‘Happy's’ trail.

As a family, you then make your way towards the Vorsass middle station on the trail of ‘Happy's’ Alpine orienteering path. There are some ‘Rocky’ cuddly toys hidden along the way and in the forest, which you all have to find. The new children's Swarovski binoculars will help you to find the animals as quickly as possible.

Welcome by ‘Rocky’ at the Niederhorn mountain station, handing out the Swarovski binoculars and the Alpine Orienteering Flyer with all the necessary information.
