Moni der Geißbub

High in the Swiss Alps, a winding path climbs from the quiet valley of Prättigau to the secluded spa village of Fideris. The ascent is steep and rugged, winding past pine‑clad cliffs and bright alpine flowers that dot the meadow‑like slopes. At the end of the climb lies the modest bathhouse, a stone refuge surrounded by towering rocks and the fresh scent of mountain air.

There, two women—an aunt and her lively niece, Paula—have just arrived for a six‑week stay. Their quiet evening is interrupted by an exuberant chorus of yodels and the clatter of tiny bells as a herd of goats appears, led by a sprightly young goat boy named Moni. He greets the visitors with a bright smile, his voice carrying a playful song that echoes through the crags, instantly capturing Paula’s curiosity.

Moni cares tenderly for a delicate kid goat he calls “Mäggerli,” cradling the little animal with gentle affection. As the herd settles near the bathhouse, the trio shares a moment of simple joy, hinting at a friendship that could blossom amid the alpine scenery. Listeners are invited to wander these mountain trails and discover the charm of youthful wonder in a world where nature and human hearts beat together.
