Alpine Climbing and Mountaineering

Pontresina is a mecca for climbers, with access to numerous climbing gardens, via ferratas, and high-alpine mountaineering routes, including ascents of the Bernina group peaks (e.g., Piz Palü). Local mountain guide offices offer guided tours for all experience levels, including glacier traverses and rock climbing courses. Equipment rental is available in town. The 'Piz Trovat Via Ferrata' near Diavolezza is a popular choice for beginners and experienced climbers alike.
