Val Tantermozza: The lonely valley

The path leads from the service road in the God d’Arduond area as a rarely used dead-end route into the otherwise inaccessible Val Tantermozza. For some time now, a bearded vulture pair has been breeding in this valley and can be observed with some luck. During the hike, besides hoofed animals, one may occasionally discover mountain lizards, adders, and grass frogs. Furthermore, golden eagles often circle over the valley. Also, in June, the lady's slipper orchid blooms at the park boundary.

Note: Dogs are not allowed in the Swiss National Park, not even on a leash. Further information and all protection regulations can be found at nationalpark.ch/schutzbestimmungen.
