サメダンのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

The chairlift is a bit adventurous, as the technology is rather outdated.

The ascent and descent to the hut are not easy, but you can enjoy a wonderful view from up there. Tip: The barley soup is extremely delicious! 😋😉

In the restaurant you can eat a mega fine large cream slice 😋

It is the highest hut in the Engadine and the canton of Graubünden. From the hut, a path leads to the summit of Piz Languard in about 30 minutes, offering unique views. Chamanna Georgy has 20 beds and is managed by Céline Egli and Simon Thaler. The surrounding area is frequented by ibex and marmots, making the hike particularly fascinating for lovers of alpine fauna.

Spaniola Castle Tower, Pontresina The name Spaniola (in Roman spagniöl = Spanish) seems to be of more recent origin. The edge is directed towards the mountain to protect against avalanches and rockfalls, but also for strategic reasons. The round-arched high entrance and the toilet extension on the second floor are clearly visible and unique. The tower can be viewed from the outside. The tower was built around 1200, but there are no written documents.

Church of Sta. Maria is the oldest and most beautiful church in Pontresina The Church of Sta. Maria is the oldest and most beautiful church in Pontresina. As if that were not enough, it is also one of the most valuable religious buildings in the canton of Graubünden. The walls are decorated with frescoes that were covered up during the iconoclasm of the Reformation. The first restoration was carried out in 1913 by Christian Schmidt from Zurich. He was followed by Charles Lefébure from Brussels, who continued the work in a meticulous, gigantic job. Both had to work with the modest means at the time, so that some of the frescoes suffered as a result. The work was completed by Oskar Emmenegger. The church was first mentioned in documents on April 20, 1450, with the patronage of "Santa Maria", which was temporarily or permanently changed to "Maria Magdalena" in 1522. The Church of Sta. Mary is "dedicated" to Mary Magdalene, the ibex on the church ceiling is the symbol of the Bishop of Chur. The devil is rarely depicted on medieval frescoes.

Röntgenweg, Pontresina On this leisurely tour, you first take the chairlift up to Alp Languard (2326 m above sea level). From Alp Languard, the hike leads into Val Languard. Bringing binoculars is almost a must, because there is a lot to observe in this valley. Marmots sunbathing and, with a bit of luck, even ibexes, which have been resettled here on Piz Albris (3166 m above sea level). The path leads along the stream, which flows into a fork in the road almost at the very back of the valley. The walk towards Paradis Hut (2540 m above sea level) should be rewarded with a piece of cake. After this wonderful refreshment, the path leads along the ridge, past some wonderful vantage points with a view of the beautiful Bernina massif. From the tree line, the zigzag forest path, named after Prof. C.W. Röntgen, leads back down towards Pontresina. The hike ends at the two cultural highlights, the Church of Santa Maria and the Spaniola Tower.
