“Stunning landscapes, clean train, and the ability to open the windows is a big plus.”
Pontresina
Pontresina is the northern valley town of the Bernina Pass at the entrance to the Val Bernina. The highest side valley of the Engadine is sunny and sheltered from the wind. The village is surrounded by mountain peaks that reach heights of over 4000 meters. For this reason Pontresina has been a special attraction for mountaineers and recreation seekers alike since the 19th century. 850 km of hiking trails and 400 km of bike trails await active visitors. The Piz Bernina is particularly impressive, but Las Sours, Piz Alv and Piz Languard are also well-known destinations. From Pontresina, quad tours to the Bernina Pass are popular. In winter, ice climbers get their money's worth. Nordic skiing is regularly held in Pontresina in cups and world cups.

“Simply brilliant, the organization was excellent.”
“It was an incredibly great facility: modern, clean, and perfect after a tiring hike. There are 3 saunas, 1 steam bath, a brine bath, and a few other baths. An unbelievably good value for the price.”
“Perfect for beginners and the first canyoning adventure. We had a lot of fun—a fantastic guided tour through the gorge with stunning nature and impressively tall cliffs. Highly recommended! And watch out for the meeting point! Don’t follow the Google link on this page.”
