Of course, the blue bird is also available for a souvenir photo. Most of the time he even has a surprise with him: small gifts like tattoos, glue and postcards make sure that your encounter with Globi will stay in your memory for a long time.
With Globi, hiking is twice as much fun. The three Globi hiking trails are ideal for exploring the landscape, animals and plants of the Alpine world:
The three Globi themed trails are open daily from Wednesday, June 18 until the end of the summer season!
Do you already know the story of Globi, how he becomes an alderman on Engstligenalp for one season? The alpine dairyman has suffered an unfortunate injury – no question, Globi is standing in for him. Now there is a lot for him to do, a lot to learn and a lot of new things to discover again. So it happens that Globi spreads cow dung on the pastures, hauls huge bales of hay, learns to yodel through a milk funnel or how to wave flags. During his alpine summer he has to deal with cheeky cows, meets dwarfs and a giant. What else he experiences, you can read for yourself right now!
Globi books, CDs and various other Globi articles are available in the Globi Stübli or in the Berghotel. The Globi Stübli is always open when the Globi cable car is in operation.
By the way: various Globi products are also available to buy online in our souvenir store.
