Rätikon Tour 2xPIP

It has lain down in the shadow of the leaning tower of the Öffapass:-)
The marmot is a rodent belonging to the ground squirrel family, closely related to the squirrel.
It lives exclusively in the temperate climate zones and the arctic regions of Europe, Asia and America.
There are fourteen different species of marmots worldwide.
Due to its dense fur, the marmot is perfectly adapted to the harsh weather conditions in its habitat.
It feeds mainly on herbs, grasses and roots, but sometimes also eats earthworms, insects and their larvae.

These horses are enjoying their run on the Sporaalpe, and our destination for the day, the Lindauer Hütte, is also approaching.
It lies at the foot of the Three Towers and is flanked by Sulzfluh and Drusenfluh. These three peaks are among the ten highest peaks in the Rätikon.
