Museum Alpin
A part of the history of Pontresina
The Chesa Delnon was constructed in 1716. Visitors to this stately Engadin building are given an insight into how people used to live. The museum has fascinating collections on display of minerals, stuffed animals that include a pioneering bird collection, hunting, game and natural scenes, as well as mountain climbing and hunting equipment. The slideshow "Bergerlebnis" (mountain experience) with its alluring landscape photographs features all four seasons. At regular intervals, a special show is presented on alpine-related topics.
The SAC Library of the Bernina Section is also housed in the same building.
