Pontresina

Pontresina occupies a mountain valley on the northern approach to the Bernina Pass in Switzerland’s Upper Engadin, beneath the Bernina Range. Nearby rises Piz Bernina, at 4,049 metres the highest summit in the Eastern Alps, while glaciers and high passes shape the terrain south of the village. Pontresina is an important stop on the Rhaetian Railway’s Bernina line, part of the UNESCO-listed Albula/Bernina railway landscape; the route crosses the Bernina Pass towards Italy. Belle Époque hotels recall the settlement’s development as an Alpine resort in the 19th century.
