Wildlife in winter

Michel Perreten, mountain leader and auxiliary wildlife monitor, proposes an excursion to better understand the life of wildlife in winter. During this hike, the tracks left by the animals will be observed. Indeed, in winter, a too close presence can cause them to flee, forcing them to abandon their brood, expose themselves to predators while losing precious energy.
