Pontresina
A quiet mountain village 6 km east of St. Moritz, lined with Romansh sgraffito houses, and the base for hiking and climbing in the Bernina range.
Pontresina sits at about 1,805 m, quieter and more unpretentious than St. Moritz. Traditional Engadine houses with sgraffito façades line the main street, and the church of Santa Maria has 13th-century frescoes. It is the starting point for the Roseg Valley, the Morteratsch Glacier and Piz Languard. In winter there are long cross-country ski trails and ice-skating rinks. By train or bus from St. Moritz it takes about 10 minutes.
