Deer, roe deer, bearded vultures, chamois, ibex - these wild animals feel at home in the Tectonic Arena Sardona UNESCO World Heritage Site. During the Ibex Tour you will hike through the secluded Weisstannental valley, past 80-metre-high waterfalls. A Swiss Ranger will guide you through the wild nature.
