Hiii Everyone,
                    I got some information about Swiss National Park. National Park Centre · Opening times . The Swiss National Park (German: Schweizerischer Nationalpark; French: ... As of 2009, it is the only National Park in Switzerland. Everything is nature-oriented in the Swiss National Park in the Engadine. All this can be enjoyed in an area of over 170 square kilometers. 


                    Swiss National Park

The Swiss National Park is unequalled in terms of the alpine scenery it offers across its 50mi (80km) of hiking paths and nature trails. Founded in 1914, Swiss National Park was one of the first national parks in Europe, and to this day remains Switzerland’s only national park. Understandably, the major activities within the park are hiking and observing wildlife. Thanks to the strict conservation rules in place, visitors are prohibited from veering off the marked footpaths, allowing a plethora of wildlife to be seen in an unspoiled environment.A variety of accommodation options are available within/near to the Swiss National Park. If you are hoping to stay within the park itself, you can stay in the famed Chamanna Cluozza (mountain hut) or the Hotel Parc Naziunal Il Fuorn.

The Chamanna Cluozza is a log cabin built at an altitude of 6175ft (1882m) in 1910. It provides rather basic accommodation, with toilets and washrooms, but no showers, and typically remains open from June until mid-October. The Hotel Parc Naziunal Il Fuorn is the only hotel within the park, and provides a few more creature comforts. Alternatively, the nearby Zernez serves as a gateway to the national park, and along with the parks official visitor centre, has a variety of hotels for guests to choose from.
The easiest and often fastest way to get to the Swiss National Park is by taking a train from Zurich to Zernez (2.5 hours one way), and then taking a postal bus service into the park. Timetables can be found here. When road and traffic conditions are perfect, driving takes a similar length of time (2.5 hours), though delays/traffic jams are commonplace, particularly during the winter months.


A single road runs throughout the national park, known as ‘Pass dal Fuorn’. Whilst this road is open for public use, public transport in the form of the postal bus is highly recommended. There are nine parking lots along this route, as well as numerous bus stops providing access to the parks many trails. The road gets busy, and is rather narrow, so pedestrian use is discouraged.
