In the rhythm of the seasons, the trough-shaped high valley enchants the senses with a picturesque play of colors. When spring awakens, it wraps itself in a delicate purple veil of flour primroses. Colorful butterflies such as lemon, sail and pearl butterflies dance merrily in the valley's summer dress. On cool autumn mornings, it adorns itself with sparkling dewdrops. And in winter, gentle rays of sunlight lovingly embrace the white blanket, while in the lowlands the mist guards its secrets.
The largest contiguous upland moor in Switzerland reveals a different splendor of colors in every season, which delights the eye and touches the soul. For hikers and walkers it offers a place of leisure and relaxation, where they can immerse themselves in the harmony of nature.
