Samedan: St Moritz - Hotel Restaurant Roseg Gletscher
Hotel Restaurant Roseg Gletscher lies along the Ova da Roseg in Val Roseg, a long Alpine valley enclosed by forested slopes and the glacier-clad Bernina range. The inn stands in the municipality of Pontresina, in the Upper Engadine near St. Moritz, at the end of a route closed to ordinary private traffic. Piz Roseg, rising to 3,937 metres, is among the dominant summits above the valley; the Roseg Glacier has shaped this high mountain corridor for centuries. Horse-drawn carriages remain a traditional way of reaching the inn from Pontresina, alongside walkers and cyclists. Val Roseg forms part of the wider Engadine landscape, where the Ova da Roseg joins the Flaz before the river continues through the valley.

Tucked into the Upper Engadin valley beside the Inn and Flaz rivers, Samedan is a place whose character is shaped by its high-Alpine climate and broad valley floor. The municipality lies near the centre of the Engadin, where railways and roads link the resort settlements around St. Moritz with passes and valleys farther east. Its historic core preserves substantial Engadin houses, notably the 16th-century Chesa Planta, a former patrician residence that now houses a cultural institution and library. Engadin Airport also lies at Samedan, reflecting the town’s practical role within this mountain region.

The terrain of Grisons ranges from high Alpine valleys in the south to the broad Rhine valley in the north, shaping Switzerland’s largest and most linguistically diverse canton. The Inn flows through the Engadin, while the Rhine has long connected Chur, the cantonal capital, with the rest of central Europe. Romansh remains a defining regional language alongside German and Italian. The Rhaetian Railway’s Albula and Bernina lines, recognised by UNESCO, cross dramatic mountain country with remarkable engineering.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
