Begin your visit by traversing the zoo's sloped terrain, where you'll encounter a wide variety of alpine habitats, from lush valleys and serene lakes to rugged mountain slopes and icy regions. The zoo showcases around 20 of the 80 alpine mammal species, 60 of the 200 bird species, and nearly all fish species found in the Alps.
Notable residents include brown bears, lynx, wolves, elk, otters, and various birds of prey. The zoo is committed to accessibility, featuring wide paths, walk-in enclosures, and aviaries.
Special tours are available for visitors with disabilities, utilizing the zoo's bear mobile for a comfortable experience. The Alpine Zoo plays a crucial role in nature and species conservation, participating in several European Endangered Species Breeding Programs (EEP) and European Studbooks (ESB).
The zoo also acts as a reception center for injured wildlife, contributing to the preservation of alpine fauna. Plan your visit to coincide with the seasonal highlights. From March, witness birds courting and nest-building, and from April to June, see young ibex, chamois, and deer.
Even in winter, most animals remain active, offering a year-round adventure. After exploring, relax at the zoo's bistro, Animal Meal, which offers small meals and drinks with seating for around 150 guests, both indoors and outdoors.
