Location description: Pontresina - The fine pleasures of the high Alps Old Engadine houses and stylish hotel buildings from the Belle Epoque characterise the sunny, sheltered high-altitude health resort.

But culture lovers, romantics and connoisseurs will also find real gems in and around Pontresina, for example a horse-drawn carriage ride to the contrasting Val Roseg or the Bernina Express to the south.
