Hiking in wintertime

Thanks to our boot heater, you can easily go hiking several days in a row. Use of the heater is free of charge.

Snow shoeing

Wading through the fresh powder snow on quiet footsteps while discovering the untouched winter landscape - the Engadine is perfect for this.

Ice climbing

The Pontresina ice climbing centre is located in the Pontresina gorge at the old bridge Punt'Ota. Throughout the winter season you will find natural ice walls as well as artificial icefalls created by means of a fixed sprinkler system. This is a great opportunity for beginners to practice, with courses on technique also on offer.

Ski tours

The experience away from the pistes and in the midst of nature is fascinating. A deep-snow descent through untouched slopes is the reward for the strenuous ascent. The Bernina massif near Pontresina and the surrounding peaks are predestined for this and offer a variety of touring excursions.
