The Engadin has much to give. And reveals itself slowly, unhurried even. Not in a single afternoon, but over days. Through the shifting light, miles of mountain trails, and sounds and scents of nature.
At Grand Hotel Kronenhof Pontresina, a carefully composed programme of moments opens up the valley. These excursions are led by people who know this landscape well. Who have watched it change through the seasons and understand it intimately.
Explore what the season has in store.
