What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the fourth generation of the family has put great emphasis on service. Choose from the three particularly lovely attic rooms.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Pontresina's Via Maistra sits outside, with walking paths leading straight into the pine woods of the Taiswald.
The rooms
Beds are built from local Swiss stone pine, and three attic rooms tuck directly under the eaves.
The spa
A Finnish sauna and Turkish steam bath sit beside quiet loungers looking straight out toward the mountains.
At the table
The pine-paneled Arvensaal serves fresh fish filleted table-side, and terrace tables look out over the surrounding mountains.
How it began
Pastry chef Fritz Kochendörfer built the bakehouse in 1908, and his son converted it into an inn in 1927.
