Animal park tour: Visit the woolly pig and the capercaillie
The animal keepers take us on a tour of the Augusta Raurica Animal Park, where we see both old domestic animal breeds and rare wild animals.
In addition to traditional domestic animal breeds such as woolly pigs, Verzasca goats and Valais Country sheep, the cosy animal park is now also home to wild animals like the extremely rare capercaillie. The animal keepers show us what their daily work involves and how they take care of the animals' different needs. An entertaining tour is guaranteed!
