Tourism and modern life has invaded Pontresina, like many other resorts of the Alps, but this village managed to keep some “character”, and it is a real pleasure and feast for the eyes to walk in the streets at a quiet time of the day and for instance look at the variety of the house décor or the windows.You will not see a lot of cattle, sheep, horses and other farm animals in Pontresina, but there are still farm houses, more or less renovated, and they give the village its character. The museum is in a typical farm house, but there are many other you can discover walking in the streets of the village.
