A very small ski resort for beginners right in the village. For advanced skiers, it makes more sense to head to St. Moritz or Diavolezza.
This restaurant is located inside an old cable car cabin. Mainly serves Swiss cheese dishes such as Raclette and Fondue.
Trains go at least hourly from St. Moritz, which can be reached from Chur. Travelling from Italy, there are a number of trains a day from Tirano to the Pontresina railway station
