Access
You can reach it easily by train from Tirano (Italy) or St. Moritz (CH). And of course by car, using the car park in the village of Pontresina. Click on the P in the map to get directions. The best way to move there is walking on the path on the left side of the valley, and not the road on the right. During week ends and in summer there are a lot of people, that can make it a little more difficult to see animals. The route that is shown on the map is about 14 km, but can easily be shortened.
