Sights in Graubünden

  1. Swiss National Park Centre

    At the brand-new, hands-on Swiss National Park Centre, you can explore a marmot hole, eyeball adders in the vivarium and learn about conservation and environmental change. The tourist office here can provide details on hikes in the park, including the three-hour trudge from S-chanf to Alp Trupchun, particularly popular in autumn, when you might spy rutting deer; and the Naturlehrpfad circuit near Il Fuorn, where bearded vultures are often sighted.

  2. Parc Ela

    Dropping southwest of Davos towards Tiefencastel, you enter the wilderness of Switzerland’s biggest nature park, Parc Ela, which opened in 2006 to protect the region’s biotope and boost its weak economy. Spanning 600 sq km and encompassing 21 communities in the Albula–Bergün and Savognin–Bivio areas, the park is three and a half times the size of the Swiss National Park.
