Falknerei Galina: A Majestic Alpine Falconry

Falknerei Galina, nestled in the heart of Liechtenstein's alpine region in Malbun, provides visitors with a unique opportunity to witness the ancient art of falconry. Situated at an altitude of 1,600 meters, the falconry offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains, creating a dramatic backdrop for its captivating bird of prey shows. The falconry is home to a variety of birds, including eagles, falcons, owls and buzzards. The falconer, Norman Vögeli, showcases the skills and natural behaviors of these magnificent creatures during the demonstrations. The shows typically last about 60 minutes and provide insights into the history and techniques of falconry. Visitors can witness the birds in free flight, soaring through the sky and diving with incredible speed and precision. Beyond the bird of prey shows, Falknerei Galina offers other unique experiences, such as the Eagle Adventure Path, which includes a ride on the Sareis chairlift to 2,000 meters and a walk down to Malbun village. Visitors can also participate in guided hikes with a golden eagle, offering a rare chance to observe these birds in their natural element. For those seeking a more hands-on experience, the Hawk Adventure Path provides the opportunity to try their hand at falconry, learning how to handle a hawk and release it from the fist. The Galina Falconry is part of the Hotel Galina, a charming 3-star superior hotel known for its cozy rooms, panoramic views, and regional cuisine. The falconry is accessible to guests with reduced mobility, with access from the parking ground floor to the restaurant, terrace, restrooms, and bird of prey show area.
