Your Silvaplana for children's hearts

Do you know Niculin? Then it's high time you did. Niculin is a marmot from the former marmot colony in Silvaplana, which lived behind the petrol station opposite Camping Silvaplana. Niculin guides families through Silvaplana's attractions and leisure activities and inspires new ideas.

The little marmot quickly wins the hearts of the little ones. He may be extremely leisurely, but his heart is in the right place. In the audio story, which can be heard at the six viewpoints around Silvaplana in summer, he searches for his family with Aunt Ladina, Uncle Andri and his cousins Gian-Reto and Flurin because he simply hasn't woken up after a long hibernation.
