So worth the effort to get way out there. It's a relatively easy hike, with changing geografie, different views, peace and quiet
It was founded on 1 August 1914, the national holiday of Switzerland. It was one of the earliest national parks in Europe. As of 2009, it is the only National Park in Switzerland, though there are plans to create more.[3] It has an area of 174.2 km² and is the largest protected area of the country. In the park, it's not allowed to: leave marked paths, light a fire or sleep outside the Chamanna Cluozza; the mountain hut located in the park. It is also forbidden to disturb animals or plants, or to take home anything found in the park. Dogs are not allowed, even on a leash. Due to these strict rules, the Swiss National Park is the only park in the Alps which has been categorized by the IUCN as a strict nature reserve, the highest protection level. A visitor centre is located in Zernez. The road through the park leads over the Fuorn Pass (or Ofenpass) to South Tyrol in Italy. In addition to the Swiss National Park, Switzerland also has sixteen regional nature parks.
Simply stunning views - will definitely go again!
I would even give 6 stars. A mesmerizing nature, landscapes, air...fantastic natural preservation.
A superb place for hiking and seeing wildlife that is only visible on television. Albeit fresh we were welcomed by some sun on the peak of Murtaröl and on the descent by some fascinating rock formations. We saw a decent share of wildlife. Don't forget to take the binoculars when you come here
A place you must have seen before you die
Truly fantastic place for hiking, with many trails with different levels of difficulty. It is kind of a remote, off the beaten track region; you will not meet many people up in the mountain. The top hike for me was Zernez-Macun-Levin. Seeing wild animals is almost guaranteed - I saw marmots, steinbocks and a big herd of elk.
