The unique landscape of the national park region will be circled in various stages – and all that without any luggage.

All that awaits you on the Nationalpark Bike-Tour, during which you circle the only Swiss national park. The route is consistent with the Nationalpark Bike-Marathon route (Swiss mobile route Nr. 444) and is easily traceable, even without maps.
