Dinosaurs storming the summit - Traces of dinosaurs in the high mountains

Naturmuseum Winterthur, Winterthur

Piz Ela and its dinosaur tracks.

The highest dinosaur tracks in Europe can be found on Piz Ela in the canton of Graubünden at 3333 meters above sea level. Which dinosaur reached mountain peaks that researchers today can only reach by helicopter?

Silvan Thüring tells the story of how these tracks reached the mountain. And, of course, he tells how these and other dinosaur tracks are discovered and researched in Switzerland. He reads the rocks like others read crime novels and is fascinated by the exciting stories they tell him. During his studies, he was already able to work on the search, recording and research of dinosaur tracks. In 2022, he organized the adventurous recovery of the highest dinosaur tracks in Europe on Piz Ela in the Ela Park near Bergün.

With Silvan Thüring, geologist at the Solothurn Nature Museum.
