The other possibility is to remain sportive: a natural ice rink can be found in the centre and there are two toboggan runs nearby. The most exciting one is located at Muottas Muragl and is 4,2 km long. Lugers will pass 718 metres of altitude and speed through 20 curves. It gets even faster in the area below Lago Bianco: snowkiters will find perfect conditions here. The place nearby the Bernina Pass became established as a top spot in the scene.
Pontresina now also is an important place for climbers, not only in summer. In winter there are huge ice walls in the Pontresina ravine, and experts work on them with water, so that the walls have a perfect ice density. Like this, ice climbers can look forward to a variety of trails.
You can relax at the Bellavita Adventure Pool & Spa. While the little ones can let off steam in the pool landscape with slide, relaxation seekers can have a rest in the sauna, the steam bath or during a soothing massage.
Snowpark: Corviglia Snowpark Crowland Pontresina (St. Moritz)
