Roseg Gletscher

Kids can be motivated to hike into the Roseg Valley, a gorgeous half-day excursion, thanks to the legendary dessert buffet served at this restaurant/hotel. The display of regional sweet specialties, all homemade, is massive. Highlights include Nusstorte (a hearty cake with nuts) and Rote Grütze (a glorious red-berry compote). The Roseg has a beautiful terrace for summer dining and a cozy Stube during winter. The rest of the menu is classic Swiss fare, and anyone who does not want to walk back to Pontresina—about a two-hour hike—can also call the horse-drawn carriage.
