This hotel is in Pontresina, a short drive or train ride from St Moritz. It's a convenient hub for many hikes in this region, particularly Morteratsch and Val Roseg.

We found the prices here a bit more affordable than in St Moritz. The rooms were a little old fashioned but comfortable and had a amazing view of the golden larch forests. For hotel guests, they have a sauna and steam bath.

For families, they can add a cot or bed to some rooms. They also have rooms with connecting internal doors to accommodate larger families. Best to contact them directly to request that.

The breakfast buffet was fantastic and I'd go back just for that. We also enjoyed their fall "wild" menu, with the classic spätzli and game meat.

This hotel participates in the "Engadin Inclusive" offers. With a two night stay in summer, you get public transport and mountain railways for free. In winter, you get a discount on the ski passes.

Note: They usually close the third weekend of October, so just at the start of the larch season.

They offer a free shuttle to and from the Pontresina train station, which is a bit far for walking. They have a few parking spaces (reserve for a fee), but we parked instead in a nearby garage (street parking is short term metered).

What we like

• delicious breakfast

• free mountain railways with 2 night stay

• sauna & steam bath

• convenient location for St Moritz region hikes
