National Park of Switzerland

The Swiss National Park, established in 1914 near Zernez, is Switzerland’s only national park, covering about 67,000 acres of protected wilderness. It features pristine landscapes of alpine meadows, forests, and rugged mountains, with minimal human intervention to preserve its natural ecosystems. The park is a refuge for diverse wildlife, including marmots, ibex, chamois, and golden eagles. Visitors can enjoy hiking and observing untouched nature, while respecting strict conservation rules that limit development, hunting, and motorized access. It serves as a vital sanctuary for conservation and a place for people to experience Switzerland’s pristine natural beauty.
