We know this place since the early eighties, when Fred Zinneman had just finished filming “Five Days One Summer”, extraordinary mountain movie. At that time, the hotel was managed by Mrs. Testa, a classy lady who loved to converse with her guests. A long time has gone since then. We have spent two nights at the hotel. A free minibus (for guests) connects the hotel with Pontresina RhB station. In order to save money and have a bit of privacy, we have booked an entire 4-bed “lager”, even if we are three. The lager no. 7 at the first floor is very basic: bunk beds, shared wash basins toilets and showers downstairs, attic ceiling (be careful with your head, if you’re tall….), limited space for clothing storage. At night there is total silence. Breakfast is the true strong point of the accommodation: a large choice of sweet and salty food is available, with some of the delicious fresh cakes that are daily offered at the restaurant for lunch. Sometimes a self-service restaurant is open for lunch, but this was not the case when we were there. The only alternative is the à la carte restaurant. The staff, according to the Swiss style, is very kind and attentive, although respectful of individual privacy. The Roseg Gletscher is the ideal starting point for many hikes in the surroundings, the two alpine huts above all: Chamanna Tschierva and Chamanna Coaz. We choosed – and highly recommend – the first one, with its superb sight on Piz Bernina, Piz Roseg and Tschierva Gletscher.
