By plane

Ski holidays in Pontresina - part of the excitement is getting there! Depending on where you are travelling from, Pontresina is not the easiest place to get to unless you have a private plane in which case you can fly in to the local airport at St Moritz! Airport transfers from Zurich to St Moritz or from Milan means a 3-4 hour transfer time ahead of you.

Airport distances

By car

Transfers from Zurich means driving to Chur (1 hour) and then over the Julier Pass and from Milan - the Maloja pass. Both have spectacular scenery and if you like an adrenaline rush, the hairpin bends will do the trick. In winter, if its raining on the approach roads to the passes, it will almost certainly be snowing when you climb to the top so snow-chains are a must.

By train

There is a train station in St Moritz so if you are arriving in to Zurich airport, you can get a train straight from the mainline station which takes around 3 hours.
