The GlaciersAlive Exkursion, welche am Samstag in Guttannen stattfand, war ein Erfolg. 11 motivierte Teilnehmer/-innen haben uns auf dem Themenpfad ‘Das Wetter und Wir’ begleitet. Der Pfad führt entlang von 28 Stationen, an denen 26 Dorfbewohner/-innen erzählen, wie sich das Wetter auf ihren Alltag auswirkt. Die Teilnehmer/-innen konnten anhand von Tonaufnahmen und Texten erfahren, wie die Bevölkerung Guttannens mit Wetterextremen und Klimawandel umgehen.

The walk was followed by the Ice Stupa Festival (organized by the community of Guttannen), where the participants could visit the Ice Stupa, have a good dinner and enjoy a performance of the Swiss Ice Fiddlers. The Swiss Ice Fiddlers were allowed to perform in front of the ice stupa in the evening in front of about 50 participants. What an extraordinary stage.

String music & ice fascination

The GlaciersAlive excursion, which took place on Saturday in Guttannen, was a complete success. 11 motivated participants accompanied us on the theme trail 'The weather and us'. The trail leads along 28 stations where 26 villagers tell how the weather affects their everyday life. Through audio recordings and texts, the participants were able to learn how the people of Guttannen deal with weather extremes and climate change.
