Morteratsch Glacier Trail

An educational and scenic circular hiking trail leading directly from the Morteratsch train station (a short ride from Pontresina) to the tongue of the Morteratsch Glacier. Along the approximately 6 km (round trip) path, 16 information posts, marked with year numbers, explain the glacier's dramatic retreat over recent decades and its profound impact on the alpine landscape. It's a relatively easy walk suitable for families with children, offering breathtaking close-up views of the Bernina massif and the impressive ice formations. The trail takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours to complete.
