ArosaAkademie "Sheep, Dog, and Wolf – Experience Alpine Farming Up Close"
General Information
Sheep, Dog, and Wolf – Experience Alpine Farming Up Close
The coexistence of wolf, human, and livestock is not an abstract issue. It happens right here, on this alpine pasture, with these animals and these people. Katharina Trachsler (hiking guide), Simon Seiler (wildlife ranger), and David Zippert (alpine farmer) take you on a day tour into their shared daily life. You read tracks in the terrain, hear old myths, and experience how life in the mountains functions between tradition and new challenges. Three genuine perspectives on a relationship that shapes alpine summers today.
