Observation of the life of marmots in Maurienne

Description

I give you an appointment in Savoie in the Maurienne valley to discover the secrets of the marmots.

After a short walk, the observation and the meeting with marmots is possible. It is then necessary to be discreet and not to make noise. You will be able to see them frolicking and roaming their territory, arguing, shouting, sunbathing, etc.

I will give you information on their life rhythm, their hibernation, their reproduction and maybe you will see some baby marmots that are just starting to come out and learn to scream at the slightest alert.

This outing can also be an opportunity to observe birds of prey and in particular the golden eagle flying over the mountain slopes in search of prey to feed its young.

I expect you to bring your equipment, hiking boots or sneakers with crampons, a fleece, a windstopper, a drink and snacks for this beautiful discovery.
