A delightfully diminutive lake community, Sils boasts daily schedules on Europe’s highest passenger boat service. Given its beauty, it seems perverse that Switzerland has but one national park, the Swiss National Park, but it is, of course, meticulously preserved and protected. Within the park, there are 21 hiking routes comprising more than 80km of trails and, owing to strict regulations, the park is today very much as it was when it opened in 1914. Numerous species of alpine plants and animals flourish, with ibex, chamois, marmots and red deer among the wildlife frequently spotted by 150,000 annual visitors doing the only activity that is allowed; hiking.
