National Park Panorama route stage 7: Zernez – Lavin [SwitzerlandMobility no. 45]

Already during the ascent, you enjoy a wonderful panoramic view towards Upper Engadin. It is worthwhile to add a short detour on the plateau to Lai da Dragun. According to legend, this lake is inhabited by a small dragon. The unique Macun lake plateau with over 20 larger and smaller mountain lakes lies within the municipality of Lavin. The king of the Alps, the ibex, can be particularly well observed here, as this lake plateau, which belongs to the Swiss National Park, is inhabited by a colony of ibex. Besides the main attraction, the deep blue mountain lakes, the view of the surrounding peaks of the Silvretta group is also impressive.

The mountaineering village Lavin

The stage route ends in Lavin. Since 2021, the village of Lavin, together with Guarda and Ardez, has officially been part of the mountaineering villages initiative. Mountaineering villages are small, quiet places dedicated to gentle tourism. Their great potential lies in their originality, the high-quality natural and cultural landscape, and the diverse mountain sport opportunities.
