On my current trip i discovered Pontresina and the area arround it. I started without a plan and ended up there. But the region arround here is awesome as there a a lot of things that can be reached from the train (Rhätische Bahn).
For example Pontresina has a small canyon next to the city. There is a ca. 3,5 km long walk arround it with information.
Then a couple station from Pontresina (Mortagratsch) you can hike for 3,5 km to reach a glacier (Mortagratsch glacier) from the train station. The last past of that hike is difficult mountain terrain.
From the Mortagratsch train station you can also hike along some waterfalls.
Then there is Bernina Diavolezza where you can take a gondula up to almost 3000m.
And its also situated along the Bernina railway route to italy if that is something you want to do (nice scenic ride)
