With an area of 172 sq km, the Swiss National Park is the largest nature reserve and only national park in Switzerland. The region is in Engadin/Münstertal and encompasses alpine terrain at altitudes of 1,400 to 3,200 metres above sea level. The foundation of the Swiss National Park in 1914 was a milestone in the history of nature conservation. It was the first national park of the Alps and Central Europe, and is famed for its abundance of alpine flora and fauna in a pristine natural landscape.

Parc Ela, Val Trupchun or Macun - these unique landscapes in Graubünden are more the work of nature than man. Their breathtaking beauty makes them well worth a visit.
The high Alps of Graubünden fill mountain-lovers and mountain-climbers with delight. We have chosen mountains with views, which you can easily reach by cable-car. Even the great Morteratsch glacier can be seen without much effort - either by cable or on foot as far as the "tongue" of the glacier.
