The 4 main attractions

Nature experience: Swiss National Park
In the Swiss National Park, untouched nature awaits you, which you can discover on around 80 kilometres of hiking trails. So be sure to pack your hiking boots. Special highlight: the Val Trupchun. The valley near S-chanf is also called the deer arena of the Alps. In addition to the mighty deer, you can also observe chamois, marmots and - probably the most famous animal in Graubünden - the ibex.

Glacier World: Diavolezza
Whether it's the Cavaglia Glacier Garden or the Morteratsch Glacier: In the Diavolezza Glacier World of the Bernina Glaciers Adventure Area, you can move through a unique ice world. You can enjoy the best view of the Bernina massif from the Diavolezza mountain station. Be sure to bring: mobile phone with a full battery for numerous souvenir photos.

Railway experience: Landwasser Viaduct
Impressive architecture in the middle of the Alps: Near Filisur, the Landwasser Viaduct rises 65 metres into the air. The spectacular structure of the Rhaetian Railway has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008. You can marvel at the viaduct from below with the Landwasser Express, do the 4-viaduct hike or simply enjoy a ride on the Rhaetian Railway over the bridge - right in the middle of it, so to speak, instead of just being there.

Gorge experience: Rhine Gorge
The Rhine Gorge is also called the Grand Canyon of Switzerland. The panoramic mountains between Lake Cauma and Conn invite you to discover. The view from the il Spir observation deck is impressive. A nice side effect: On the way there, you can marvel at the famous Lake Cauma and swim in the turquoise blue water. Would you rather be in the middle of it all? Then take a canoe or rafting tour on the Rhine or take a ride through the imposing landscape of the Rhine Gorge in the open observation car of the Rhaetian Railway.
