Pontresina
Pontresina ( rm, Puntraschigna) is a municipality in the Maloja Region in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. History and name Pontresina was first mentioned in medieval Latin documents as ''ad Pontem Sarisinam'' in 1137 and ''de Ponte Sarraceno'' in 1237. The name consists of the Latin word for bridge, ''pons'' (accusative form: ''pontem''), and the male personal name ''Saracenus'', which was widely known in the Engadin valley. The earlier assumption that the name was connected with the Saracens has been discarded. Pontresina owes its importance to its location on the Bernina Pass and to tourism. In the Middle Ages, the place was more important than neighbouring St. Moritz. However, only a few buildings are reminiscent of this time, as Pontresina was hit by a major fire at the beginning of the 18th century. After the first inn was opened in 1850, tourism began to flourish. In the summer of 1885 there were already 2000 guests. In 1908, the resort received a further boost ...
