Bearded Vulture update (15th May 2010):
The youngster has been seen on the nest and so far all seems to be going well.

Last year the young vultures debut flight was at the very end of July, so there's plenty of opportunity to stay at Chalet Henriette (self-catering) and enjoy unrivalled viewing of these magnificient birds from the comfort of our very own balconies! (A truly unique opportunity to view a Bearded Vulture nest from the comfort of a chalet balcony!).
