Roseg, Mountain refuge and restaurant in Samedan, Switzerland.
Roseg is a mountain shelter with a restaurant located at 1999 meters elevation in a valley that serves hikers and travelers with lodging and food. The building sits in the Roseg Valley and is surrounded by mountain and natural landscape shaped by the nearby glacier.
The Roseg establishment started in the late 1800s as a shelter for climbers exploring the glacier landscapes and Alpine peaks in the area. Since then it has served travelers as an important stopping point in the mountain region.
The restaurant keeps Swiss cooking traditions alive by making regional dishes with ingredients from local Alpine farms in the area. Guests experience meals that reflect the tastes and food customs of the mountain region.
You can reach Roseg on foot along a marked hiking path through the valley or by taking a horse-drawn carriage from Pontresina, taking between one and two hours depending on your choice. The best time to visit is from June through September when the hiking trails are easy to access.
From the large outdoor terrace of the restaurant, visitors look directly at the Roseg Glacier and the Bernina mountain range, making this a rare spot to watch glacier landscapes from very close. This view is remarkable in every season as the landscape changes with snow cover and light.
