Pontresina

580 km of hiking routes, 400 km of mountain bike trails and breathtaking climbing in the roof of the Alps.In Pontresina, mountain bikers, hikers, climbers and mountaineers can enjoy the very best of the high life. Where else do you come across a 4,000-metre peak when you’re out and about, and where else do well-marked paths promise you the spectacles of imposing glaciers, romantic mountain lakes and colonies of Alpine ibex? Golfers can tee off from three courses, against a backdrop of impressive peaks. Nordic walkers have their very own trail and fans of high rope courses have also had their own park since summer 2011. If you like swimming or spas, you’ll find your very own piece of paradise in the Bellavita Pool and Spa, as well as in the idyllic mountain swimming lakes. Whether you like your restaurants cosy, Swiss affairs or high-end dining establishments, you’ll be sure to find plenty of award-winning treats for the tastebuds. In this way, luxury is a reality rather than a dream in picturesque Pontresina – a uniquely harmonious balance between people and nature.

I love this scene Jose. The river, the beautiful vegetation, the typical houses of a mountain village - so very nicely composed and captured!

You've included so much beauty into this one shot, Jose. The flowers in the foreground,
the lake's shore, the sheep, the buildings and the mountains! Bravo for bringing this to us
and also for your wonderful information.

The composition in your image and the atmosphere and beauty of this location made for a wonderful capture. The path towards the buildings works so well in this vista. Voted

A beautiful scene, I like the dashes of colour from the flowers in the foreground. V
