Whether in the Jura, the Central Plateau or the Alps. Swiss nature offers exciting discoveries at any time of year. The tours are led by Michel Hänggi, a field ornithologist with over 20 years of experience in birdwatching. He expertly and enthusiastically demonstrates the diversity of wildlife and explains the interesting interrelationships between ecosystems. Notes on booking: The observation site can be chosen freely. I am happy to give recommendations for worthwhile areas. The starting time is also flexible.
