On the trail of the largest Grisons glaciers
If you enjoy hiking and want to learn more about the landscape formed by glaciers, a guided hike with a mountain guide or hiking guide from the Pontresina Mountaineering School is perfect for you!
How will I recognise the glacial polish? What is dead ice? Which plants and animals live in the glacier forefield? What are block glaciers? What effects are climate change and environmental changes having in the alpine region? On the guided hikes near the glaciers, you’ll discover hidden places with spectacular views of glaciers and mountains and learn a lot of interesting facts.
