Searching for Nature with the family on the ‘Natursprünge’ path. On this themed trail that leads from Burtschasattel to Alpe Parpfienz there is so much to discover and to experience for the whole family.
Experience report of a downhill beginner on why daring departures are just the ticket for sporty families. Here I am in the Wallride Mountain & Bike Store in Bürserberg. All around me are heavy, solid bikes with fat tires and huge suspension.
Anyone who has ever stepped of the lift at the ‘Lünerseebahn’ at an altitude of 1,970m will know that the Lünersee is turquoise blue. On some days it almost looks like the blue of the South Seas, where the palm trees are replaced by high Alpine peaks. On other days, when the wind ruffles the surface water, it has a milky shimmer the colour of a true turquoise mineral. So, the question is whether the Lünersee is turquoise from everywhere?
As of today, I understand the caterpillar Nimmersatt. She eats from leaf to leaf, cherry and apple, until she becomes a butterfly that dances across the multicolored meadow that lies before us. Why do I understand her? This meadow not only smells good, it tastes good too
The sun is shining, the Rätikon gleams a magnificent white and the soft hum of the lift is perfect for an enjoyable day of skiing. Friendly staff welcome their guests at Brand’s modern village lift station ‘Dorfbahn’.
No sooner said than done - we dress warmly and decide to make our way to the Schattenlaganthütte. Our host has given us the tip that it is as peaceful in Schattenlagant in winter as nowhere else in the valley. And since there should also be a hut at the end of the tour, this is the perfect destination for us.
Our hosts in Brandnertal have come up with a culinary highlight for the winter season in the truest sense of the word, An evening mountain gourmet adventure. In the evening, when peace and quiet settles in the village, our winter sports fans, hungry from the days sporting activities, get back into the lift and float above the romantic village of Brand, where they spend a pleasant evening.
How is the weather created? Why must certain boundaries between humans, animals and the nature be kept? What alpine dangers are there in the mountains of the Brandnertal?
We have so many questions for nature and the Natursprünge path in Brandnertal gives us the right answers for every season.
