Our funicular is going up, another is going down, and there are wild ponies on the left!!!!

We started at the town at the bottom. Best way to hike EVER!!!!

Muottas Muragle Panoramic Hike

10 september 2023, Schweiz ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F

This town (Pontresina) is a hiker's paradise, and even has Switzerland's largest mountaineering school. Unlike Varenna, everyone here dresses in casual or, more commonly, athletic/hiking clothes (shorts with boots), and often carrying their ski poles. Fashionistas begone!

We started with a funicular up the mountain (Alp Languard) to 8,100 feet (the easy way up). Photos and video show the towns of Pontresina, St. Moritz and lots of valleys, mountains, and streams.

This panoramic hike is one of several trails at the tops of the mountains, less uphill/downhill and thus, more doable for me. This first half of the hike was above the tree line and very sunny. Some of the red plants in the pictures are blueberries with their autumn foliage!Läs mer
