Swiss National Park, Switzerland

The Swiss National Park in the Engadine is all about nature. All of this is available in an area of more than 170 square kilometers. Everyone can have a pleasant time thanks to the 80 kilometers of hiking pathways, natural trails, and excursion locations for children and families. The Swiss National Park, established in 1914, is the Alps' oldest. In the interest of nature protection - tourists are not permitted to leave the hiking pathways - you may view ibexes, chamois, marmots, bearded vultures, and golden eagles in the wild, as well as a plethora of other wild creatures.

The visitors' center in Zernez features an interactive display on the National Park, as well as temporary seasonal exhibitions on nature-themed subjects, an information desk, and a shop. You may immerse yourself in the wildness of the National Park by participating in one of the many tours available. Excursions for children and families allow even the youngest children to discover our surroundings via play, with the Champlönch children's trail, which can be used in connection with the GPS-enabled iWebpark software, being particularly popular.

Humans are essentially passive spectators in the Swiss National Park, making the spectacle all the more spectacular! Only once in recent history has Homo sapiens acted actively: 105 years ago, when nature enthusiasts established the first national park in Central Europe, a watershed moment in conservation history. Today, this spectacular reserve in Switzerland's easternmost corner, with its 100 km of pathways and nature trails, provides visitors of all ages with the opportunity to watch true wildness in action.
