Piz Alv Ibex Colony Observation

Pontresina is famous for its large ibex colony, one of the largest in Switzerland. The slopes of Piz Alv, easily accessible from the village via marked hiking trails, serve as a prime spot for observing these majestic alpine wild goats in their natural habitat. While guided tours are often available through local nature organizations, visitors can also spot them independently, especially in spring and autumn when they descend to lower altitudes. Binoculars are highly recommended for optimal viewing. This free natural spectacle offers a unique and unforgettable connection with alpine wildlife and conservation efforts.
