Description

Who will solve the seven riddles about the vanished glacier fleas? With an audio guide and map, "Wolli and the Climate Detectives" await you at Zermatt Tourism at the train station square in Zermatt. The journey with the Gornergrat Railway is mysterious and beautiful. After a visit to the viewing platform, the return goes to Rotenboden for the hike to Riffelberg. Wolli, the black-nosed sheep, and his friends, the squirrel, the alpine jackdaw, the cairn man, and the Matterhorn pose seven riddles.

This makes the hike fun even for kids. Will the young climate detectives manage to crack the code to the treasure chest after their return to the village? The climate detectives can look forward to a surprise in the treasure chest. It is located in the tourism office at the train station square.
