Description

Wasserscheide and its surrounding mountain forests and Alpine meadows are located within the Gantrisch/Gurnigel IBA. The area is easily accessible by car and public transport. There are some amenities (hotel, restaurant) and a network of well-marked hiking paths. The area is home to some Alpine species such as Venturon montagnard , Aigle royal , Tétras lyre , Tichodrome échelette , Pic tridactyle , Lagopède alpin , and Monticole de roche. In recent years, in summer, observations of vultures, in particular Vautour fauve have become more common.

Wasserscheide is also one of the Swiss hot spots for the observation of autumn migration (roughly between 15 August and 15 October). During late summer considerable passage of Milan noir and Bondrée apivore can occur. This is followed in late August / early September by migration of Guêpier d'Europe. September sees good passage of Épervier d'Europe , Balbuzard pêcheur and Busard des roseaux , and some insectivorous passerines stopping over, including Gobemouche noir , Rougequeue à front blanc , Tarier des prés. October is the month of mass migration of passerines including Pinson des arbres , Gros-bec casse-noyaux and Pipit farlouse.
