Family Vacations in Summer and Autumn

Nowhere do ibexes feel as comfortable as in Pontresina: Around 1,800 ibexes live on Piz Albris above the legendary mountaineering village. From the end of April to the beginning of June, the ibexes even come down to the village to nibble on the fresh blades of grass along the ibex promenade.

You can get as close as possible to the ibexes on a free ibex tour. Pontresina Tourism also offers summer excursions and winter tours by prior arrangement. The leisurely hikes for young and old animal watchers last two to three hours and give you and your family group an interesting insight into the world of the Ibex. There are also all kinds of exciting things to see and hear! The Summer Excursion lasts approx. 6 hours and is suitable for more experienced hiking families.

Climb like an ibex? You can do that on the ibex playground on Alp Languard.

Whether in the Bernina Glaciers Adventure Region, in the Ibex (Capricorn) Paradise or in the Pontresina Sports Arena, pure outdoor family group adventures await visitors in the Adventure Worlds of Pontresina. There are also plenty of public playgrounds. Enjoy the Adventure Playground at the Camping Facility in Morteratsch, at the Hotel Morteratsch or on Alp Languard. There are also larger playgrounds in the centre of the village at the Plazza da Sport Roseg (Sports Pavilion) and directly on the Promenade, in the garden of the Hotel Müller. And, by the way, no matter what the weather, there is a Toddlers' Pool at the Bellavita Adventure Pool. It is the perfect place to play. Elder children and daring parents can plunge down the ‘Blackhole Slide’. Every Sunday, there is a children's afternoon organised in the indoor pool with a large ‘Hupfsonne’.
