What feels smooth?   

Little search-and-find challenges make hiking even more fun. Look for something smooth - then compare your discoveries. What did everyone find?

How to play

  2. The task is simple: Find something smooth!  
  3. Decide whether to play with or without a time limit.

Grazing neighbours along the way

As you've surely noticed, our hiking trail leads past several grazing areas. Horses and cows roam peacefully here - and they're usually on their best behaviour! 

To make sure we all get along - people and animals - it's helpful to know the basic rules for respectful behaviour on alpine pastures and trails.
