Being out and about with goats is a new dimension of hiking. In the hiking of Bettmeralp (June - September) and Betten Dorf (May and Otctober) the lively goats are completely in their element and provide the best entertainment. They never cease to amaze us with their incredible climbing skills and their creative ideas when it comes to grabbing just this little leaf and not one of the many others. As ruminants, they are sometimes full and want to lie down, which gives us the opportunity to take a longer break and enjoy the peace and quiet and the fascinating view.
