Stelvio National Park will impress you with its large variety of plants
and animals. This wonderful species-rich alpine paradise is
characterised by the altitude difference between the valley base and
the highest glacier. Here you will find unaccessible areas and thick
conifer forests, wide mountain lakes, impassable rock summits, and
endless glaciers. The diverse flora offers perfect conditions for a
rich fauna. The most important hoofed animals of the Alps call this
their home: deer, chamois and ibex. With a bit of luck and patience you
might get a glimpse of a golden eagle, a bearded vulture or a wood
grouse. With a size of 169 km², the Swiss National Park is the largest nature reserve is Switzerland. The unique alpine region ranges in altitude between 1400 and 3200 m above sea level. From June to August you can watch the multi-coloured and wide ranging plants. In July and August the warm sun melts the last remaining snow - the perfect tie for a high altitude hike. | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
