Located in the eastern part of Switzerland, near the border with Italy, the Val Müstair natural region was declared by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve in 1979. The reserve area comprises 17030 hectares with forests, alpine meadows, and scree in different areas between 1400 and 3173 meters above sea level. However, the reserve has several attractions not only natural but also historical, such as the Benedictine monastery of St.Johann (also declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1983); cultural, such as the Romanche language and tourist infrastructure for sports lovers.
