August 1st in the Engadin
On 1 August, celebrations take place all over Switzerland – and in the Engadin, of course. Whether it’s a barbecue, a hike or simply spending time together: the National Day is all about community.
Happy Birthday Switzerland!
The municipalities of the valley have prepared a varied program for you – from the traditional August 1st brunch to an atmospheric concert on the alp. You are dearly invited to join in the various festivities and we look forward to raising a toast to Switzerland together.
Information on fireworks bans
All municipalities in the Upper Engadin have introduced a ban on fireworks and will refrain from fireworks on the first of August to protect pets, wildlife, and nature.
The wildfire danger level is considerable. Controlled fires are still permitted. Official Swiss National Day bonfires organised by the municipalities, as well as mountaintop bonfires, are still allowed. Barbecues may only be lit in designated fire pits.
