Introducing Swiss National Park
The road west from Müstair stretches 34km over the Ofenpass (Pass dal Fuorn, 2149m), through the thick woods of Switzerland’s only national park (www.nationalpark.ch; Jun-Oct) and on to Zernez, which is home to the Chasa dal Parc Naziunal Svizzer (National Park House; 081 856 13 78; www.nationalpark.ch; 8.30am-6pm, to 10pm Tue Jun-Oct). It is on the main road just as it leaves the east end of town and is open the same months as the park. It provides hiking details with locations to see particular animals.

There’s no charge to enter the park and parking is free. Walkers can enter by trails from Zernez, S-chanf and Scuol. Deviating from the paths is not permitted. Regulations prohibit camping, littering, lighting fires, cycling, picking flowers, bringing dogs into the park, or disturbing the animals in any way. Fines of up to Sfr500 may be imposed for violations.
