Hidden behind the Ofen Pass, Val Müstair is located in the southeasternmost corner of Switzerland. The gentle valley floor with its well-kept and authentic villages contrasts with the wild, imposing mountain world and nature. Discover the enchanting winter world in the “Biosfera Val Müstair” nature park on snowshoes and gain exciting insights into the interesting cultural landscape and the valley's diverse craftsmanship.
