Alpine ibex, red deer, mountain hare: wild animals in Graubünden often find it difficult to find food in winter. In order not to endanger their survival, winter sports enthusiasts and nature lovers should pay attention to the wildlife rest zones and protected areas, especially when there is ice and snow.
Please do not disturb
In winter, animals need a lot of energy and stamina to forage for food, for example to rummage for twigs and buds under the snow cover. It takes even more energy to escape when humans cross the boundaries of their territory. To ensure that the animals have as much peace and quiet as possible, we ask you to
- Observe the wildlife rest areas and protected areas.
- Stay on the paths.
- Avoid forest edges and snow-free areas.
- Keep dogs on a leash.
