Alpine tours and rock climbing in Pontresina
Rocky peaks and unforgettable views
Mountaineering has a long tradition in Pontresina. The Bernina range’s imposing mountains were first climbed as early as the mid-19th century. Since then, the majestic ice- and snow-capped mountains of Engadin have been on every mountain climber’s bucket list.
Once equipped with crampons and ice axe, you can set off: cross a glacier, in a rope party with an experienced mountain guide, climb the Biancograt to the Piz Bernina, or try a granite climbing route.
If you want to take it a little slower, climb a via ferrata or overcome obstacles at the lofty heights of the high-rope course Pontresina or in the alpine rope park in S-chanf.

Bathing in the mountains
on top of the world
Engadin is famous for its lakes. Above all for its Big Four: Lake Sils, Lake Silvaplana, Lake Champfèr, and Lake St. Moritz. These lakes rarely get warmer than 17°C (62.6°F) in summer. Luckily, there are alternative small lakes in the upland moor. At 1,800 meters (5,905 feet), they warm up to 20°C (68°F) in summer. The most famous one is Lake Staz. Other popular lakes include Lake Marsch and Lake Nair in St. Moritz.
