This tour offers a unique view of the ice giants around the Morteratsch Glacier and the Bernina massif. The Morteratsch Glacier near Pontresina (Rhaeto-Romanic Vadret da Morteratsch or Glatscher dal Morteratsch) is one of the largest glaciers in the Eastern Alps.

It is one of the glaciers in the Bernina Group in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. Like all Alpine glaciers, the Morteratsch glacier is also affected by extensive shrinkage as part of global warming; it shortened by around 2,500 meters between 1900 and 2017.
