Natural jewels

Anyone exploring the Val Müstair for the first time will be fascinated by the beauty, integrity and perfection of this corner of the world. During all seasons, nature is not only the backdrop, but also the protagonist.

In spring, magnificent flower meadows attract visitors next to ancient larch and stone pine forests. In summer and autumn, peaks, pass crossings and high-altitude trails offer breathtaking tours. In winter, the valley comes to rest and reveals itself as a fairytale world covered in deep snow. Discover our natural jewels and see for yourself.

Lai da Rims

It is considered one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in Switzerland - the much-vaunted Lai da Rims. Since it lies at a lofty 2,396 metres above sea level, it is not easy to catch a glimpse of the lake. Until the Lai da Rims lies before you in all its splendour, you have to conquer terrain step by terrain step. This applies both to the long ascent from the valley and to the high alpine variants over the Piz Umbrail or the Piz Praveder. Once you have reached the Lai da Rims, you will remember it for a long time. There are even guests who have visited the mountain lake over 200 times because they have fallen in love with it.

Crystal clear water

If you take a break on the lakeshore, you will quickly notice the crystal-clear waters of the Lai da Rims. This is a great place to cool your tired feet.

A lake to fall in love with

A slightly elevated resting place with an overview is recommended so that the view can sweep over the dreamlike scenery.

New perspectives

A completely unusual view of the Lai da Rims can be caught from the surrounding mountain peaks. This is also the case from the neighbouring Piz Lad.

Val Mora

A touch of Canada. This is probably the best way to describe Val Mora. No wonder, because due to its originality and remoteness, the Val Mora leaves no one untouched. The atmosphere there is almost magical, primal and rough. Rugged mountains tower on both sides, some of them reaching the three-thousand-metre mark, including Piz Murtaröl, the highest peak in the nature park at 3,180 metres above sea level. On the wide valley floor, pines, stone pines, larches, moors and the wild mountain stream Aua da Val Mora form the landscape.

Archaic nature

When a bear finds its way to Switzerland, it first settles in Val Mora. He is right: the long valley parallel to Val Müstair is a scenic highlight.

Mumma Veglia

Once upon a time, the young shepherds had to kiss the stone formation «Mumma Veglia» when they went to the alp for the first time. Otherwise they would turn to stone themselves. Today, hikers and bike

Piz Murtaröl

Only those who make their way to Val Mora can catch a glimpse of it: The hardly known but highest rock giant in the nature park. Piz Murtaröl reaches an impressive 3,180 metres.

God Tamangur

Something mysterious surrounds it, the highest pine forest in Europe. The God Tamangur welcomes its visitors with its heavy, yet sweet scent. Here you get to know gnarled, ancient trees. Some of them have 800 annual rings and more, others have come to an end a long time ago and serve the forest community as deadwood, providing shelter and protection for animals. The forest is protected, no cultivation is carried out and animals only graze on the edges. This is good for the forest. Despite its old age, the God Tamangur enjoys high vitality and dynamism.

Alp Tamangur

On the way towards S-charl, the crumbling alp buildings of Tamangur Dadora catch the eye. They serve as waymarks for hikers and provide shelter for the horses and donkeys grazing here.

Val S-charl

The wide valley floor of Val S-charl, where God Tamagur is located, is a real eye-catcher. Especially if you like gentians - they grow here in great numbers.

Forest works

For centuries they have defied wind and weather. And so they stand, the impressive wooden giants of God Tamangur. Gnarled, dishevelled, shaggy.
