Parc Ela - Switzerland's largest nature park

Parc Ela is rich in nature and culture. These include steep mountain peaks, vast landscapes with flower meadows and mountain forests, surrounded by glaciers and mountain lakes. But also historic villages and baroque churches that remind us of the former importance of the trade routes over the Albula, Julier and Septimer Alpine passes.
