Zernez Walking Tour
Zernez, Switzerland
Why Walk Zernez
Swiss National Park, accessible from the village of Zernez, was established in 1914 as the first national park in the Alps. The park covers 65 square miles of the Lower Engadin and has been left entirely to natural processes for over a century — no logging, grazing, or development. The result is a rewilded alpine landscape where ibex, chamois, marmots, bearded vultures, and golden eagles thrive. All visitors must stay on the 50 miles of marked trails.
