1. Winter activities

The snow capped peaks and powdery snow make the perfect winter playground for any winter sports enthusiast. St. Moritz offers over 215 miles of ski runs, trails for all levels of experience. Ski over a glacier, turn some tricks in the snowboard park, cross country trails in the unspoiled white wilderness, winter hiking through the snow-covered landscape, tobogganing down Muottas Muragi - whatever winter activity your heart desires, more than likely St. Moritz offers it.

2.  Swiss National Park

Located in the far eastern corner of Switzerland, this untouched terrain is the first national park in Central Europe. There has been no hunting, fishing, or any kind of exploitation in this national reserve since 1914, when it was first declared a national park. The Swiss National Park houses a fantastic collection of plants and animals in the rugged, natural habitat of the Alps. Whether visiting in the summer or winter, the 105 square mile National Park is waiting to host your exploration. There are a couple of lodges if you wish to seek accommodation within the park. Make sure to stick to the marked paths while hiking.
