There is a hotel with rooms and apartments in the natural park and different eating establishments. You can take a day visit, but it is really worth staying the night to take all the profit. In the link there is much more information about the prices of the train and accommodation.
Chamois and marmots also live in the area. In summer there are usually cows in the area since it has been a shepherd area for a long time.
The area is closed in november.
