The Stablét Visitor Centre
The Visitor Center Stablét is dedicated to the life and
behaviour of marmots, a very common rodent that lives on
high-altitude alpine grassland. The Center was set up in an
old summer-farm in the mountains, which was restored and
equipped for the purpose.
With the help of simple descriptive panels, visitors discover
the physical particulars of marmots and gets to know their
way of life.
The images show the winter hibernation, “waking-up” in
spring, the family life organization and the daily “work” of
this charming rodent. A large model illustrates the interior of a
typical marmot den, the small living-space which is its retreat.
For more information, the Center has a small room where visitors may watch a video about marmots.
The Visitor Centre is placed at the feet of the well-known and spectacular Saènt waterfalls, of Prà di Saènt, also called “The marmots’ meadow” and near to the “Path of the Monumental Larches”.
Times of opening: the Visitor Center Stablét is open daily, from June 23 to September 9 plus 14-15-16 September, from 10.00h to 12.30h and from 13.00h to 17.00h.
