Seminars and company events
The Sporthotel Pontresina runs seminars, workshops, retreats and company dinners for up to 120 people theatre-style, across five meeting rooms and two restaurants that can be booked privately. The hotel stands at Via Maistra 145, on the main street of Pontresina, in the Upper Engadine a few kilometers from St. Moritz.
Every meeting room comes with a magnetic whiteboard wall four meters wide, two movable magnetic panels in Swiss stone pine, a ceiling HDMI connection for a projector, a flip chart, notepads and pens at each seat, and free Wi-Fi. A projector can be added on request. Lunch can be a two-course menu or individual dishes, and dinner a set menu of three or four courses. The hotel publishes an event and seminar brochure each year, and the mountains around the village offer hikes, bike rides or ski afternoons between working sessions.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel does not market weddings, but it hosts family celebrations and private dinners in its hall and restaurants, as well as a New Year's Eve program for guests.
Rooms and capacities
The largest room is the Sela Veglia hall, 174 square meters, for 120 theatre-style or 80 in a meeting layout, with banquet seating on request. Maloja covers 95 square meters for 35 theatre-style or 30 around a table. Bernina, Albula and Julier, 28 square meters each, take 30 theatre-style or 20 in a meeting layout and work well as breakout rooms. For dinners, the Sporthütta, across the street from the hotel and open in winter, has 45 square meters inside, 140 square meters of garden and two long tables of 12, with up to 40 guests in a banquet layout. In summer, the Alp Languard, a mountain restaurant above the village, seats 40, or 50 at banquet, with a terrace of 60 square meters.
Accommodation
Groups stay in the hotel's own rooms and suites, from Sport rooms to Arve rooms paneled in stone pine and suites such as Natur Pur and Erker, plus apartments in the Il Piz annex. Many rooms were renovated in 2019 and 2022. A rooftop wellness area and a fitness room are on site.
Catering
Beyond the Sporthütta and the Alp Languard, the hotel runs Restaurant Pontresina, Arkade Roseg, BASE 1881, the Sportbar and a wine cellar, so a group staying several nights can change setting each evening.
History and setting
The first building on the site, Maison Stiffler, went up in 1866, and the Hotel Pontresina/Post followed on its foundations in 1881. The Pampel family has managed the hotel since 1982 and has owned it since 2010; Nicole and Alexander Pampel lead it today. The hotel opens for a summer season and a winter season: for 2026 and 2027, June 5 to October 25, then November 23 to March 30.
