What to do and see in Pontresina, Swiss Alps: The Best Things to do

April 24, 2022 Jacquiline Darosa

Encircled by a forest of fragrant pine trees, the mountain village of Pontresina is an idyllic alpine retreat. Hike to the mammoth Morteratsch glacier or take a horse-drawn carriage ride through pristine Roseg Valley. Learn about ancient cheesemaking practices (and sample the delicious results) at the nearby Alpine Dairy of Morteratsch. A guided village tour will expose you to local features you may have otherwise missed, like graffiti murals and holy frescoes.

Lovely walk to the glacier, and along the path you have signs letting you know how the glacier has changed over the years. Highly recommend! The food in the restaurant by the train is very good aswell!

already open for skiing on the weekend and Wednesday afternoon. As well without skiing a cool peak to enjoy the view on the glacier and get something to eat and drink. A great place to start early into the ski season:)

Museum Alpin

Reviewed By Swissbulgarican - Lausanne, Switzerland

Absolutely worth the visit here! You get real insight into the people and industrieds surrounding Pontresina over the last few centuries. Cool mountain climbing artifacts, pictures, and films document this. The museum is a very old building showing how life was a few hundred years ago. Interesting as well for all aged-children.
