Pontresina & Engadine
Glorious splendour Pontresina is regarded as the the mountaineers' village par excellence. Close to the purest mountains and glaciers, it promises a holiday packed with experiences - and not just for ÂŤhigh-flyersÂť. This region at an altitude of 1,800 metres above sea level has so much more to offer than climbing alone. Shimmering lakes. Proximity to the south. The gateway to the National Park and a terrific density of fine hotels, restaurants and events. No wonder that the Engadine is worth visiting: Pontresina was presented with the award as the most hospitable Swiss resort in 2012.

Bike Special

There are no peas under our beds. But within our fairytale walls, your family will be royally pampered. Our refined cuisine, indoor swimming pool with wellness spa and additional play area: this «Special» offers so many extras that will be the icing on the cake of «family life» in the summertime mountains.
