    Tips

    September 1, 2018

    From August to October the station monitors the migration of small and large birds across the Alps. They see golden eagles, bearded vultures, and all manner of other birds of prey as well as much smaller species. The small birds are caught in high nets, usually at night, and ringed, checked for weight and health, and sent gently on their way. If you pass by, do let the volunteers in the huts know, as you might disturb the birds. Also the volunteers will happily explain their work, and make you welcome. It’s a significant hike and requires above average fitness, excellent hiking boots, sticks (if you like sticks) and lots of layers to keep you warm, as even in summer temperatures can fall close to zero at 1923m! vogelwarte.ch/en/projects/bird-migration/long-term-surveillance-of-bird-migration-on-col-de-bretolet
