Pontresina - Val da Fain - Pontresina

At the village exit of Pontresina, a gently ascending bike path begins towards the Bernina Pass. At the waterfall (on the right side of the valley), you cross the road and follow the forest edge on the left side of the valley to Morteratsch. There, the Alpine show cheese dairy invites you to stop – whether for brunch or to watch the cheese making. Refreshed, you then tackle the strenuous climb behind Morteratsch. Following the Bernina stream, you reach the Bernina Suot houses, from where the path then turns left into the Val da Fain. It is worth stopping from time to time – not only to catch your breath but also to enjoy the view back towards the Bernina massif. The glaciated Palüs mountains seem within reach. At Alp Stretta, the turning point is reached, and the descent back to Pontresina quickly makes you forget the effort of the ascent.
