Description

Through the Binntal flows the Binna, where you can find Vízirigó. From the Binntal, you can climb the northern and southern mountains. Due to the differences in sunshine, these are very different. It's worth discovering the differences. During mountain hikes you can find Szirti sas and in the parts below the tree line fenyőszajkó. Besides birds, there is a high diversity of plants and insects.

Access

There is a parking available, click on the P in the map. There is also a bus station that is served by the Postbus (check for the latest time the bus returns to Fiesch). The marked walks have a lot of altimeters, especially the walk on the north side of the Binntal. It is wise to be reasonably fit before you start and put on mountain boots. Also bring plenty of warm clothes for the cold(er) peaks.
