This park is a piece of untouched nature that is awaiting both the grown-up and child explorers alike. The Parc Naziunal Svizzera is the largest nature preserve in Switzerland. Its founding in 1914 was a major milestone in the history of European nature conservation. This very first national park of the Alps and middle Europe amazes our many visitors; especially, while hiking in Switzerland. It features a wealth of alpine wildlife such as the rock goat and the marmot, alpine plants such as the Edelweiss flower, and alpine roses all of which are preserved in an untouched conservation area.
