Pontresina

You’ll feel at home from the moment you arrive. The charm of the historical mountain village with its typical Engadine houses and belle époque palatial hotels is bound to take your breath away. Against the fabulous backdrop of the Bernina massif, Pontresina is protected from the wind and offers plenty of sunshine – a place of tranquillity, summer in the mountains, health and well-being, and culinary delight. The permanent presence of Piz Bernina (4,049 m), the highest peak in the eastern Alps, is a wonderful sight to behold, standing as it does alongside Palü, Roseg and Bellavista, so that climbers, mountaineers, hikers, mountain bikers, golfers and swimmers cannot help but look up in admiration from time to time. Relaxing and unwinding just doesn’t get any more impressive than this. The proximity to Italy and a favourable climate guarantee plenty of sunshine and mild, dry weather
