Swiss National Park: unspoilt nature since 1914

Founded in 1914 in the Engadine, it is Europe’s oldest national park and serves as a sanctuary of total protection where human intervention has been absent for over a century. With its 170 square kilometres of unspoilt forests, alpine pastures and rocky peaks, it offers around 80 kilometres of hiking trails that are strictly marked out to preserve the habitat of ibex, chamois and marmots. Trekking enthusiasts can embark on the challenging yet spectacular hike leading to Val Trupchun, considered one of the best vantage points for observing Alpine wildlife. For those who prefer cycling, the cycle routes running along the park’s outer boundaries offer unforgettable panoramic views of the valley, combining sporting activity with strict respect for the biodiversity of an ecosystem that has remained completely intact.
