You have arrived in Pontresina. You have checked in and settled into your room. The hotel is cosy and everything runs smoothly. Before you leave, you have made an idea of what to see and do during your stay. Now, however, you need to get organised. Where to start? It would be much easier to have personal coaches, experts in the area, to help you choose the best experiences to have in the Upper Engadin.
It is a magical place, which offers so many opportunities for active holidaymakers as well as cultural, food and wine lovers. There are perfect trails for beautiful nature walks, extraordinary bike trails, visiting glaciers and peaks, reaching mountain huts and passes in a truly extraordinary natural setting. There are paragliding flights, carriage rides in the Roseg Valley, horseback riding, helicopter or hang-glider flights, excursions on the Bernina red train along the Rhaetian Railway, Cross Buggy rides, guided tours of Saint Moritz on foot, various cultural and food and wine tours, such as a visit to the Segantini Museum or wine and food tasting in the wine shop. Set off with us to discover the secrets of the Upper Engadin!
Together with experienced guides from Special Ski School, you will have a fascinating experience in the midst of nature with our guided walks. Discovering snow-covered expanses and pristine forests with a pair of snowshoes on your feet – a truly evocative thrill! And an ideal alternative for those seeking peace and relaxation away from the crowds. No special knowledge is required. Good waterproof hiking or mountaineering shoes are needed.
The Schloss Hotel organizes an evening snowshoe hike every Friday to enjoy the beauty of the Upper Engadine under the stars.
Rhaetian Railway Bernina Pass Excursion Train – The Rhaetian Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, represented a real change in the relationship between man and nature, with substantial and lasting consequences for mountain life, fostering the interchange of human and cultural values. Fantastic opportunities with the Bernina-Winter line: you can admire the white winter landscape through the huge windows of the panorama trains: snow-capped peaks, glaciers and frozen mountain streams. Boundless views of the Morteratsch glacier, Lake Bianco and Valposchiavo: the highest train route in the Alps ascends following sinuous curves without a rack and pinion up to the roof of the RhB, the Bernina Hospice, at 2,253 m a.s.l. And for a lunch break, Alp Grüm, the only restaurant reachable only by train, awaits you…
Guided hike from St. Moritz – Full day snowmobiling through the Spluegen Pass and Black Lake. One of the most fascinating activities of the St. Moritz / Engadin Valley vacation. Depart from the hotel on the scenic route from St. Moritz to Maloja, Chiavenna and Madesimo, where the Snowmobile-Camp is located.
On board comfortable carriages drawn by magnificent horses, wrapped in warm blankets, you will spend unforgettable moments in the picturesque Val Roseg in Engadin, through a glittering winter landscape, admiring the panorama of the beautiful mountains.
A unique thrill, indescribable in words without having experienced it: snow-capped peaks, breathtaking glaciers and rugged rocky ridges-a view from the air that offers a unique perspective of the mountain world of the magical Engadine. Viewing this region from the air is probably the most breathtaking activity one can experience here.
The full range of helicopter sightseeing flights makes this all possible. Heliskiing, with UIAGM Alpine guides, can be quoted upon request. In cooperation with our Special Ski School, who can take you to admire:
