Hotel Roseg-Gletscher

Wonderful and easy hike from Pontresina. When you get to Roseg, be ready for the most wonderful array of desserts to reward yourself! Or you could enjoy an extensive lunch or dinner menu, including local specialties.

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.

The hotel’s dessert buffet is the stuff of legends and for a reason. Even if not staying at the hotel, a quick snack here is an unmissable treat with local specialties such as the bündner nusstorte, and the fresh fruit garnished wonderful mousse de chocolat.

Stunning location. Comfortable and spotless rooms. Excellent restaurant that accommodated all of our needs. Kind and caring staff. Highly recommend. Do not miss the opportunity to discover the Roseg Hotel and its surroundings.

Supernette und um mein Wohl besorgte Receptionistin, sehr netter und aufmerksamer Kellner. Ganz leckeres und sehr reichhaltiges Frühstück. Wunderbare Lage mit vielen Tiersichtungen am Abend (Rehe und Hirsche). Ein zauberhaftes und verwunschenes Winterparadies in der Einsamkeit. Die Nachtruhe ist aussergewöhnlich, ich erlebte noch nie eine derart stille Nacht. Obwohl ich das Massenlager im 6-er Zimmer gebucht habe, erlebte ich eine unglaublich schöne und bequeme Zeit.

Albergo bello in una zona fantastica. Personale molto gentile, camere accoglienti. Al ristorante c è molta scelta,i piatti sono ben presentati. I dolci sono tanti e buoni. Albergo adatto per due o tre giorni di relax e passeggiate. Adatto anche a chi come noi ha un cane. .

Die Abgeschiedenheit wird zu einem besonderen Erlebnis. Ich hatte ein gemütliches kleines Einzelzimmer im Haupthaus. Das Personal ist äusserst freundlich und zuvorkommend, man ist einfach gerne hier. Die Speisekarte „verzaubert“ mit einheimischen“ Speisen, einfach köstlich und das Dessertbuffet lässt keine Wünsche offen.
