The last bear in Switzerland was shot in Val Mingèr in 1904. Unfortunately the Swiss National Park was only founded 10 years later and could not, therefore, offer any refuge for this creature.Today, however, bears roam the National Park again from time to time.
Mingèr comes from the Romansch word for miner (minier). Nowadays, there is hardly anything left of the mining industry, but the valley offers interesting opportunities to observe red deer and chamois.
