Pontresina

Engadin charm next to the Chic resort of St. Moritz

 

High up in the Swiss Alps is a valley abounding in snowy mountains, frozen lakes and magical light. This is a world where the wonders of nature provide a magnificent setting to enjoy winter sports’ activities or just to relax in peace and quiet and where the sun shines 322 days a year. St. Moritz Dorf is the most
fashionable resort, nestling beneath the 3057m Piz Nair on the lakeside in a beautiful setting dominated by the surrounding mountains. St. Moritz has a busy centre full of high class shops and fine restaurants. Pontresina is much smaller with more charm, in marked contrast to glitzy St. Moritz.
