Touring.

Alpine Circle

Couple enjoying the view on the Landwasser Viaduct

On the Alpine Circle tour through the Graubünden mountain world, discover the four most popular sights in Graubünden: the Swiss National Park, the Diavolezza glacier world, the Landwasser Viaduct and the Rhine Gorge.

You can explore the Alpine Circle individually or, to make your planning easier, follow one of the three suggested routes “focus”, “centrala” and “cumpleta”. In addition to the four main attractions, there is also plenty more to discover along the route. Between the stops, you can relax by the deep blue mountain lake, hike through nature parks or take a stroll along the promenade of Lago Maggiore in Locarno.
