Lake Biel

Experience Switzerland's nature up close. On a private nature safari with an experienced nature guide. Hardly any other country in Europe offers such ecological diversity in such a small area as Switzerland. Rugged Alpine peaks, tranquil lakes, dense forests, flowering dry meadows, and wild river valleys alternate in a very small area. This diversity makes Switzerland a paradise for nature observation. From rare alpine plants to impressive wildlife. Whether golden eagles, chamois, squirrels, deer, or rare migratory and breeding birds, there are fascinating species to discover in every region. Spring and summer entice visitors with colorful alpine flora and lively bird activity, autumn reveals golden forests and wildlife, and even in winter, with a little luck, you can follow exciting animal tracks in the snow or observe water birds in peace on the lakes. The tours are led by Michel Hänggi, a field ornithologist, nature expert, and ranger with over 20 years of experience. With professional expertise, passion, and a trained eye, he will show you the hidden treasures of nature and provide exciting insights into the interrelationships between habitats. It's not just about observing, but about understanding and marveling. Possible regions (optional): – Alpine region (e.g., Bernese Oberland, Valais, Central Switzerland) – Pre-Alps and lake landscapes (e.g., Lake Zurich, Lake Constance, Lake Lucerne) – Jura with its forests and limestone cliffs – Wetlands, floodplains, and bird migration areas in the Swiss Plateau I would be happy to advise you on choosing a suitable area, depending on your interests, the season, and your desired region. Schedule and duration: – Half-day tour: up to 3 hours – Full-day tour: up to 6 hours – The tours are on foot and are individually tailored to the terrain and the wishes and fitness level of the participants. – The starting time is flexible.
