# Restaurant Morteratsch Restaurant en Pontresina · Engadine Fuente: https://www.geocalia.com/en/switzerland/graubunden/engadine/where-to-eat/morteratsch-restaurant · Revisado: 2026-11-13 - Precio: €€ Restaurant of the Morteratsch hotel, next to the Bernina station and at the foot of the glacier: rösti, capuns and pizzoccheri at lunchtime, a large terrace and walnut tart. At the foot of the glacier, with its own station Restaurant Morteratsch is the dining room of the hotel of the same name, in the Val Morteratsch, about 5 km south of Pontresina on the Bernina road. What makes it practical is that it has its own station on the Bernina line: the regional train stops in front of the terrace, and from there starts the Morteratsch glacier trail. You go, walk to the tongue of ice and come back for lunch, or the other way round. It is large: three stüvas (the wood-panelled dining rooms of the Engadine), a hall, a lounge, a kiosk and a sunny terrace with views of Piz Bernina and Piz Morteratsch; in all, up to 400 seats. On fine summer days it fills with people coming back from the glacier, so arrive before one o'clock or after two. What to eat and how much it costs At lunchtime, the house serves Graubünden mountain cooking: rösti, capuns and pizzoccheri. On the 2026 lunchtime menu, the pizzoccheri (buckwheat pasta with potato, cabbage and cheese) cost CHF 24, the capuns (spätzli dough wrapped in chard, gratinéed) CHF 29, and the rösti goes from CHF 18 plain to CHF 25 with raclette and bacon. To share, the Bündnerplättli Piz Morteratsch, cured meat with mountain cheese and home-made fruit bread, from CHF 18 to 35 depending on size. For dessert, Kaiserschmarren at CHF 15.50. There is Graubünden barley soup and vegetarian dishes, and a small children's menu with soup, pasta, breaded chicken breast and chips. The cheese fondue and the wheel raclette that you melt yourself are served at lunchtime and in the evening. In the evening the cooking is somewhat more elaborate, always on a Graubünden base, with meat, bread and cheese from producers in the valley. The house makes its cakes daily and the tuorta da nusch, the Engadine walnut tart, which in the Stüva Chünetta is served with coffee from 7:30. When it opens and how to get there In season it is open every day from 8:00 to 21:30; hot food is served from 11:30 to 16:00 and from 18:00 to 20:30. For dinner it takes customers without a reservation, although you can book a table on the website. It closes between seasons: in 2026 it pauses from 25 October and returns on 4 December, until 18 April 2027. From Pontresina it is two stops on the regional Bernina train to Morteratsch. By car, take the Bernina road and turn right about 5 km after Pontresina; the car park by the hotel is free for hotel guests. To continue, Diavolezza is one train stop away. Qué pedir: at lunchtime, the gratinéed capuns or the pizzoccheri; if there are several of you, the Graubünden platter of cured meats and cheese to share, and a slice of the house walnut tart with coffee. A tener en cuenta: Open every day in season, 8:00 to 21:30; the kitchen serves 11:30 to 16:00 and 18:00 to 20:30.
