Enjoy the unique Weatherman Trail hiking trail in Switzerland!

At a number of points along the way, you're shown how the Muota valley's famous meteorologists observe nature and forecast the weather six months ahead.

The walk is about enjoyment, observing nature and returning home richer for a wonderful experience.
