Intro

The Biosfera Val Müstair nature reserve is a little world of its own on the other side of the Ofen Pass. With its lush green meadows and well-kept villages, it provides a contrast to the untamed nature of the nearby National Park.

Description

The Biosfera Val Müstair is a regional nature reserve of national importance and, together with the Swiss National Park and parts of the municipality of Scuol, forms the first UNESCO high Alpine biosphere reserve in Switzerland. In the sunny Val Müstair mountain valley, 80% of local farmers work entirely organically. The multifaceted crafts practised in the valley reflect the traditions of the area and are focused on quality. The region offers a unique cultural and natural landscape. Val Müstair is home to a number of special gems, such as the Convent of St. John UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Manufactura Tessanda weaving mill, many museums as well as the typical Graubünden villages – surrounded by a spectacular mountain landscape. From the bottom of the valley of the river Rombach up to the highest mountain peaks, a variety of habitats offer outstanding conditions for a large number of wild animals. This balanced interaction between ecology and economy should also guarantee a livelihood for local people for many years to come.

Winter

Four ski lifts take visitors to the sunny and family friendly skiing area of Minschuns. Although it only climbs to 2700 meters, it is nevertheless snow-assured. A shuttle bus brings the winter guests of the entire valley to the Valley Station. The Val Müstair offers a cross-country skiing network of around 28 kilometres in the intact nature of the Biosfera Val Müstair. Nordic skiers glide through fir and larch tree forests and enjoy beautiful views of villages and houses.

Summer

One enjoys a splendid view of the Münster Valley on the easy hike from the Ofen Pass height, through majestic Swiss Pine Forests, past alpine huts and across mountain and flower meadows to the village of Lü (1920m).
