National park: Zernez – Munt Baselgia – Macun lakes – Alp Zeznina – Lavin

Since the year 2000, the Swiss National Park has become richer by a true gem with the Macun lake plateau. Located on a high plateau between Zernez and Lavin, 23 small lakes lie like a string of pearls. Besides this, the hike offers an impressive view from Munt Baselgia, a special flora on crystalline ground (including the only Swiss occurrence of the pygmy pasqueflower), and the opportunity to experience block glaciers up close.

The loop at the Macun lakes is a voluntary extension of the route and takes an additional approx. 50 minutes (not included in the details for this route). However, this can be bypassed by taking the direct path towards Lavin.

Note: Dogs are not allowed in the Swiss National Park, not even on a leash. Further information and all protection regulations can be found at nationalpark.ch/schutzbestimmungen.
