Pontresina Natur

Pontresina is located in the highest-altitude valley that branches off from the Upper Engadine. It's a sunny place, protected from the winds, that lies on a slope opening towards the southwest. Pontresina continues to be a typical Engadine village, stretching along the valley's longitudinal axis. It is embedded in dense woods of larch and stone pine trees. Pontresina ascends from 1,777m to 1,860m above sea level. Pontresina is surrounded by the highest mountains of the east alps with the piz Bernina (4,049 m) and the Biancograt as its sign.
