A classic walk in the Swiss National Park, this route leads to the bottom of the remarkably picturesque Trupchun Valley, where you’re very likely to spot ibex, chamois, deer and, of course, the ever-present marmots, as well as various species of birds.
The elevation gain is relatively low, the path is easy, the scenery is superb – a real family walk.

A lovely and very easy walk in the exceptional setting of the Swiss National Park, home to marmots, ibex, chamois and the park’s iconic bird, the spotted nutcracker.
