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

December 14, 2021 Brain Ambrose

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!

Excellent hike in immediate proximity of Pontresina. Well-maintained trails and wonderful scenery. Perfect warm-up on the way to the Tschierva alpine hut or beyond, to the Bianca ridge and Piz Bernina.

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.
