The Alpine Lodge in the Swiss village Pontresina are centrally located, yet quiet and with a mountain view. The building with its modern alpine architecture sets itself apart from the village´s typical Engadine houses. The Alpine Lodges‘ design is modern but pays respect to the traditions of the Engadine: regional ornaments and typical materials are used and interpreted in a contemporary way. Warm wood and soft fabrics come together with hard concrete and form an exciting composition. Floors and high, patly slated walls built of fair-faced concrete, seating furniture made of wood and felt, windows with deep reveals and skylights turn the holiday apartments into generous, loft-like spatial experiences, which you would not expect from outside. The furniture designed by award-winning carpenter Ramon Zangger is made of solid Swiss pine wood. The scent is reminiscent of holidays in nature and contributes to a restful sleep. A wellness area as well as individually bookable services also ensure a relaxing holiday.

Wir haben unsere Ferien hier schon zweimal verlebt, einmal im Januar und einmal im August. Es hat uns immer super gefallen! Die Wohnungen sind sehr geschmackvoll und praktisch eingerichtet. Die Lage ist sehr zentral zum Einkaufen, zur Bus Stop und für Wanderungen.
