Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Swiss National Park is the only national park in Switzerland, located in the eastern part of the country in the canton of Graubünden. Established in 1914, it spans an impressive 42,000 acres of untouched nature. The park's landscape is characterized by majestic mountain ranges, deep valleys, and a mix of coniferous forests and alpine meadows. Home to a variety of wildlife, including ibex, chamois, and red deer, the park also protects numerous bird species and rare plants. Visitors can explore over 50 miles of hiking trails that wind through the dramatic scenery, offering opportunities to observe the park's natural inhabitants. Notable landmarks within the park include Piz Pisoc, the highest peak, and the serene Macun Lakes. With a strict policy against any form of interference with nature, Swiss National Park offers a unique chance to experience the raw beauty of the Alps in its most pristine form.
