Swiss National Park (Parc Naziunal Svizzer)

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.

Morteratsch Glacier

Reviewed By gstussi - Oslo, Norway

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!

Val Fex

Reviewed By lbes - Ohio, United States

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.

SilserSee

Reviewed By Ivisitedtheplace - Israel, null

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.

Lake of Staz (Lej da Staz)

Reviewed By luxuryvoyage - Switzerland, null

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).

Pavarotti & Friends

Reviewed By R5679QVannas - Karlsruhe, Germany

It is an absolute must visit in St. Moritz! super friendly place with an unforgettable atmosphere like at the big Italian party with loud Italian music and candle lights. It feels like you know everyone at the end of the evening and the food prepared for you by an Italian Mama is amazing. it’s a wine bar, so you will be impressed by the list of excellent wines. We tried Bresaola carpaccio for starters, Homemade pasta with black truffle and the deer with polenta for main dish and everything was absolutely delicious. The tiramisu della Mama was perfectly flavored and melting in my mouth. Also very friendly staff. So I would highly recommend to try this place out. I really enjoyed the evening very much!

Val Roseg

Excellent hike in immediate proximity of Pontresina. Well-maintained trails and wonderful scenery. Perfect warm-up on the way to the Tschierva alpine hut or beyond, to the Bianca ridge and Piz Bernina.
