You will discover mountain resorts such as Flims, Davos, St. Moritz or Arosa and the associated ski slopes. Alternatively, take a hike through the Engadine, the Prättigau or the Surselva.

Panoramic rides on the Rhaetian Railway

It is an integral part of an unforgettable experience in Graubünden: A ride on the Bernina or Glacier Express. Starting from Graubünden’s capital Chur , the Bernina route – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – takes you to Tirano in Italy. You’ll pass beautiful landscapes and lakes, over the Bernina Pass and viaducts. Starting from the Engadine holiday resort of St. Moritz, take the Glacier Express to Zermatt, where you will be overwhelmed by the views of the Alps with their glaciers, gorges and mountain valleys.

The Swiss National Park

The Swiss National Park in the Engadine is the oldest national park in the Alps and covers about 170 square kilometres of untouched nature that is strictly protected. Here you will encounter an unspoilt alpine landscape and experience unique flora and fauna. You can explore the park on the large network of hiking trails, take a guided tour or absorb interesting facts at the information centre.
