Hotel Restaurant Roseg Gletscher — Restaurant in Samedan

We know this place since the early eighties, when Fred Zinneman had just finished filming “Five Days One Summer”, extraordinary mountain movie. At that time, the hotel was managed by Mrs. Testa, a classy lady who loved to converse with her guests. A long time has gone since then.|We have spent two nights at the hotel. A free minibus (for guests) connects the hotel with Pontresina RhB station. In order to save money and have a bit of privacy, we have booked an entire 4-bed “lager”, even if we are three. The lager no. 7 at the first floor is very basic: bunk beds, shared wash basins toilets and showers downstairs, attic ceiling (be careful with your head, if you’re tall….), limited space for clothing storage. At night there is total silence. Breakfast is the true strong point of the accommodation: a large choice of sweet and salty food is available, with some of the delicious fresh cakes that are daily offered at the restaurant for lunch. Sometimes a self-service restaurant is open for lunch, but this was not the case when we were there. The only alternative is the à la carte restaurant. The staff, according to the Swiss style, is very kind and attentive, although respectful of individual privacy.|The Roseg Gletscher is the ideal starting point for many hikes in the surroundings, the two alpine huts above all: Chamanna Tschierva and Chamanna Coaz. We choosed – and highly recommend – the first one, with its superb sight on Piz Bernina, Piz Roseg and...

Hotel Roseg Gletscher was one of the most unique hotels we've ever stayed in, and it quickly became our son's favorite. The cottage-like rooms were beautiful and gave us a magical, Goldilocks-like feel. Our room was clean and comfortable, though it's worth noting there's no mini-fridge. I had insulin with me but was prepared with my own cooler, so it wasn't an issue. I'm sure the staff would have assisted if I had asked.||The hotel's restaurant serves delicious and authentic, though pricey, Swiss dishes, which was an incredible culinary experience we were happy to pay for. The hotel's secluded location in the Swiss Alps is absolutely stunning, with beautiful streams, glaciers, and mountain scenery all around. My family loved the 4-hour hike we took one day, and we also enjoyed visiting nearby towns and mountains like Muottas Muragl.||One challenge was the transportation schedule. The hotel provides a courtesy shuttle bus to town, but with only one trip at 10 AM and the last pickup at 5 PM, it required careful planning for our daily activities. The alternative was a horse-drawn carriage ride, which, at 25 CHF one-way, was a bit steep for a family of four and not part of the hotel amenities as I had initially assumed.||Despite the transportation logistics, our stay was a truly wonderful experience. We would love to come back again, perhaps during the winter, to see the landscape in a...
