A perfect summer day in Pontresina may look like this: you take the chairlift from the village to Alp Languard. From there, walk along the trail to Muottas Muragl and at half the distance stop for a rest in the charming restaurant Munt da la Bês-cha. The view of the Bernina area from here is unforgettable.

Linguistically, the Upper Engadine belongs to the Rhaeto-Romansh area of Switzerland.Pontresina is trendy and open-minded, and yet continues to maintain its traditional and cultural roots
