Both Pontresina and Sils Maria have their own unique charm! For biking, Pontresina tends to have more extensive trails and access to stunning alpine scenery. However, Sils Maria is enchanting with its serene lakeside views and a more tranquil atmosphere. Have you checked out the trails around the Morteratsch Glacier in Pontresina? They're phenomenal!
