Pontresina
A stone-built Engadin village facing the Bernina massif, with glacier access and a public pool.
Pontresina stretches along a sunny terrace facing the Bernina range. It is the practical base for Val Morteratsch and the Diavolezza/Lagalb mountain area, reached by train and bus. The village is also associated with the Engadin's ibex population, best observed responsibly and at a distance.
Bellavita provides a public adventure pool and spa, useful in poor weather or after a mountain day. Pontresina's long main street includes historic hotels and newer low-impact design; the station sits below the centre, so travellers should account for the climb or use the local bus.
RhB trains serve Pontresina on the Bernina line and from Samedan. The village centre is uphill from the station; local buses reduce the climb.
