Nine life-size sculptures turn the hike from Fieschertal to the Schweizer Familie magazine’s barbecue area in Brüchergand into a fascinating expedition to the land of the dinosaurs.

The starting point of the themed trail is Fieschertal village square. The path takes you through the Lambrigge district towards the Schweizer Familie barbecue area in Brüchergand. On the dinosaur trail, you encounter eight life-size, hand-made wooden dinosaur replicas. Information boards at each location provide interesting facts about the prehistoric dinosaurs. Walk in the footsteps of the Ankylosaurus, Velociraptor, Parasaurolophus, Ornithomimus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Pteranodon,  Dimetrodon or Oviraptor. It makes the hike really fun for little explorers and researchers.
