Wow is the word. It is a good 2hr hike but so worth it to touch and walk on the glacier. It was sad to see how the glacier is receding. We had a great time visiting. Recommend going early in the morning so it's cool and also to beat the crowds.
Great hike and some good fall colors in October. Sad to see the glacier meeting everyday though :(
Beautiful and sad sight at the same time. You need to walk an extra 500m in the rocks with really good shoes to reach the ridge where you can actually see the glacier.
Beautiful glacier which is reachable from the station, and able to be walked on. Sad to see the effects of climate change.
Magnificent glacier and easy to reach! Please respect nature and help to stop global warming.
Breathtaking views on Bernina Express — something not to miss.
Breathtaking view ! Worth visiting!
Amazing view, it was great to feel myself so small... Only a 1 hour walk from the nearest car park.

Really nice hike in a marvellous valley. Very easy walking conditions. Can be done in family. Mountain Bike can also be an option as a secondary road even less steep than the pedestrian one is available. Horse carriage is the last option if you really want a very picturesque alternative. About 7km (1h 45min approx. at a normal pace) to get to the roseg-gletscher restaurant (check my separate review about it).
This is one of my fav hikes in Switzerland 🇨🇭. From the beginning of the trail across the Pontresina train station to the end at the Hotel restaurant Roseg is about 7 km, 1.5 hrs of leisure walk. You will be rewarded by the beautiful view at the end and a nice cake or lunch break at the hotel Roseg. Coming back you can take the shared horse carriage 25 chf pp or you can hire a private carriage 140 chf for up to 4 pp. The last public carriage back is at 15:45, just time your hike accordingly. There is no car allowed on the path, so you really enjoy the peace and nature.
Un posto bellissimo...! The snow for cross-country skiing is just perfect ! To hike around is also fantastic!
Awesome walk, with dogs, everything superb!

Excellent gourmet experience....
Daily you can watch the cheese production always at 9:45 & 13:45, to what extent it is made traditional. The staff is very warm and friendly. The food was the absolute hammer. Interesting and deliciously tasty. We definitely come by again and can also recommend it to them.
If you love cheese and great local food with wonderful nature and want to learn how to make cheese or just enjoy local cheese, you have to visit this place for brunch, lunch or just a small Apero.
What a scenery! The staff is super knowledgable and the food they produce at that very alp is mouthwatering. You get everything, from homemade yoghurt, bread, birchermuesli, cheese, butter, honey to eggs and all sorts of charcuterie. If you have 1-2h spare time, take a walk up the glacial trail, leading to the Morteratsch glacier.
The food is incredible, the folks are super kinda and appear to love what they do, and the space is a gorgeous break from the gluttony of most of the surrounding resorty areas we spent time at the previous few days. Their brunch is absolutely worth going out of your way for - even coming up from Italy, I'd imagine. They mostly cater to locals, and their website isn't English friendly, so if you'd like to visit for brunch, you'll need to call them and reserve a table by at least 5:00pm the day before. Entirely worth the effort.
Excellent food, good place and friendly staff
Super cozy place just a minute walk from Morteratsch station. Awesome home made cheese selection
Kind and polite staff, great team! You cannot miss to visit this incredibile and genuine place if you come in Engadina. Everything tastes so good. Strongly recommended!

Slide 1 of 8
Went on a rainy day, and it was super fun to be in the heated-outside pool while it rained. Also, inside was very enjoyable for the kids, with plenty to do like a big slide, pool toys, spring board, etc. We also had lunch there (in a section directly by the pool), and it was affordable and tasty, though nothing fancy. The whole facility was spotless-clean and the staff were friendly.
This place is not particularly big: a 34-degree outdoor pool, a 22-degree indoor pool, a large slide, a water play area for children, and a table tennis room. We went in the evening and there were not many people, so we had a good time relaxing. Personally, I prefer the sauna area. The incense in the sauna room smells very good. The staff are very friendly and the prices are reasonable.
The infrastructure is modest but clean and nice. Staff is really welcoming and they speak multiple languages. Price was fair and worth it. the only negative point is that the warm pool is not really filled with hot water but only slitghtly warm water, a few degrees hotter would be much appreciated. Overall is a nice place to spend a few Hours and relax
Less than average Pool and Spa is really small but ok. - There no shower gel - Towels are available at extra charge - Some parts were closed Recommendation: Go to Samedan’s Bad & Spa
Totally overcrowded, very small and if you have kids they are 6 and up and just want to enjoy a pool, don't go. There is a fun slide for them and one small jump, for both they need to queue. Very limited space to swim as all lines are taken. The outside pool is beautiful but you hardly manage to move it there as there are so many people. Don't waste your time and money going there, especially during summer holiday
It’s not the first time we visit this spa, and every time guests behave very inappropriately and make the overall experience rather weird than relaxing. People starring at each other, especially at women without any respect for each others privacy. One guy stood wide legged right in front of my girlfriend watching her shower after the sauna. As a couple we will never visit this place again and we strongly recommend to the management to inform guests about personal privacy, conscious behavior and just common respect!
Great local pool and spa. Very clean. Staff is very friendly and lent me goggles when I forgot mine. Spa is amazing and super clean.
Nice relatively new swimming pool and Spa that could easily be missed on the main Street in town as everything is under ground. The pool entrance price was very reasonable and a discount was offered with to people with the guest card. There is a separate entrance fee for the spa and suna area. However the pool entrance fee included a small outdoor heated spa pool with water stream beds, water showers and round river area. For kids there is a 70m long slide, a diving board and an assortment of different floats. The changing area was very clean with changing cabins, lockers and showers. The lockers lock with your entrance pass so no change is needed. Towels are available to rent at a cost of 2sfr each. There is a snackbar with a choice of sandwiches or hotdogs, coffee and other drinks reachable without leaving the pool area, there is also a small store with swim suits if you need to buy one.
