This tour offers a unique view of the ice giants around the Morteratsch Glacier and the Bernina massif. The Morteratsch Glacier near Pontresina (Romansh Vadret da Morteratsch or Glatscher dal Morteratsch) is one of the largest glaciers in the Eastern Alps.
It is one of the glaciers of the Bernina Group in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. Like all Alpine glaciers, the Morteratsch Glacier is also affected by extensive shrinkage in the context of global warming; so it shortened between 1900 and 2017 by about 2500 meters.
