View of Pontresina (photo © M. Schmutz)Pontresina is considered one of the most appealing holiday and meeting destinations in the Alps. It lies at 1800 m a.s.l., in a wind-protected side valley of the Upper Engadin. Its guests come to recharge their batteries – in the pure, dry air, the agreeable climate and the 300 days of sun it has to offer each year.
