The Ova da Bernina Whitewater Gorge

Wildwasserschlucht Schwebebalken
Wildwasserschlucht Herbst
In the summer, the wild roar of the Ova da Bernina echoes through this breathtaking Alpine vista. In winter, by contrast, the mountain stream abates to a hushed gurgle. You can hear and see ice climbers as they scale the mighty ice pillars in the gorge.

Immerse yourself in a fascinating world!

You can start the adventure trail at any point and walk in either direction. We recommend starting with the impressive canyon skywalk at Plazza Bernina and then exploring the other exciting spots along Via da Mulin. Peer down into the depths of the gorge and experience the raw, natural power of the water. Then turn right over the Surovas bridge, where you'll enter the enchanting Taiswald, a magical forest of Swiss stone pines and larches set in a unique landscape.

Prepare to be amazed and learn exciting new things

The various sites feature sleek structures and geometric shapes that blend seamlessly with the rugged landscape. These sites not only inspire awe, but also offer a fascinating insight into Pontresina's rich history. Learn about the famous mountaineering village, the thrill of ice climbing in the gorge, the secrets of the Swiss stone pine and larch forests and much more. The information can be accessed on site via QR code.

Plazza Bernina & canyon skywalk

The centerpiece of the adventure trail is the Plazza Bernina with its 37-metre-long canyon skywalk. The barrier-free steel structure "floats" over the whitewater gorge. Anyone stepping onto the slightly transparent platform will intimately experience the steepness and roughness of the narrow gorge.
