Founded in 1914, the Swiss National Park is a strictly protected wilderness (IUCN 1a) where flora and fauna can develop freely. The entire habitat, with all its natural dynamic processes, is strictly protected. Research projects and long-term observation programmes allow scientists from various research institutes to understand complex processes more clearly. Excursions in the National Park offer a fascinating experience amidst a truly natural landscape.

Beautiful and texture diverse national park with well tended hiking paths. Natural larch pine forest, especially beautiful in autumn when the trees' colours change.

Lovely walk to the glacier, and along the path you have signs letting you know how the glacier has changed over the years. Highly recommend! The food in the restaurant by the train is very good aswell!

We first discovered this valley on a hike from Muottas Muragl on the “gastronomic trail” and fell in love with this picturesque valley with views of glacier covered peaks, cattle, llamas, goats and sheep and the sounds of cowbells and mountain streams. The first time we walked on the marked Trails on either side of the valley. The second time we decided just to walk along the road to be in the floor of the valley which by the way is quite a bit shorter than the trails up on the side of the mountains. The trail to the Val Fex runs right by our hotel in the entire trail was absolutely beautiful.

This is certainly a prominent recreational area for the summer, which is when I did my solo hiking expedition. There are high mountain trails and viewpoints to admire to crystal clear blueish green waters. At lakeside, you’ll find bikers and walkers and joggers. There is a scenic and busy commercial campsite.

Popular easy walking route from either St. Moritz, Celerina or Pontresina to the lake of Staz in winter, summer and autumn. In summer, you can swim in the lake. The nearby restaurant is a hot spot during the whole year with an outside terrasse and an inside restaurant. In summer, you can rent a sun chair but the price is much too high, 90 swiss francs for the day (none of loungers was occupied when we were there).

Excellent ending destination from our hike starting in Alp Languard - we took the Panorama Trail, which was very doable with our five year-old. Just be sure to have smaller children have good walking shoes and hold a hand in areas where there is little protection/steep inclines on side of mountain. The trail, however, is fairly flat. It took us about 4 hours including breaks. The walk could also be down in the reverse direction (Muottas Muragl-->Alp Languard and down with the chair lift). The restaurant has a wonderful playground in the back and offers a seated area restaurant as well as a self-service area with tables on a huge terrace. If you are looking for a slightly cheaper option, I would highly recommend the self-service food. The food was excellent - we had a lovely lentil soup and wurstsalat. Cake and coffee were also excellent. As others have mentioned, the scenery is magnificent looking out on the lakes of St. Moritz, Sils and Silvaplana. The ride down with the furnicular is fun and unique. An excellent outing and very much worth it - our hotel included this excursion in the card with access to all local cable cars/transport.
