Intro
The village of Pontresina is not just home to one of the oldest mountain guide associations in Switzerland, but also offers numerous opportunities for climbing enthusiasts. Young and old alike can discover nature together, learning to climb and hitting the heights in the process.
Mountaineering has a long tradition in the Alpine setting of Pontresina. The local mountain guide association is one of the oldest in Switzerland and is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2021. Numerous activities for families are on offer in an effort to make climbing more accessible to younger visitors. Climbing parks, high-altitude tours, glacier treks and various via ferratas await anyone who wants to experience the high life.
There are courses for children that will teach them how to belay, abseil and tie knots. This is an entertaining way to discover nature and climbing. If you prefer to balance from tree to tree, the rope park in Pontresina is a good alternative with a beautiful view.
The rope park does not open in the event of bad weather. If this happens, why not take a detour to the indoor climbing walls in Serlas? There are courses for adults, children and even whole families to try out their climbing skills for the first time.
