Retreat locatie
Pontresina is located in the prestigious Upper Engadin on an elevation of 1805 m. above sea level. The Engadin is offering a very pleasant climate with 300 days of sunshine.
The mountains stretch up to over 4000 m.a.s (Piz Bernina) and create thus a spectacular panorama all around. The sky is close, the stars and moon palpable, pure, and bright. Pure air and water are only one more of the many toppings.
In the winter the Engadin becomes a paradise for cross-country skiers with over 240km of slopes in an outstanding landscape and in the summer we reach the 10000feet peaks by cableways for excellent hiking with a view over the majestic lakes and the Swiss stone-pine forests give off a delicate scent of fresh resin
The Engadin offers a rich cultural heritage - its architectural style, its language (Romansch, of which we are proud native speakers), its gastronomic marvels (nut tarts...), and its traditions (Chalandamarz). Many famous personalities of art & culture like Giovanni Segantini, the Giacomettis, Friedrich Nietzsche, Richard Wagner, Hermann Hesse, and Thomas Mann have contributed to the myth and nimbus of this valley.
