Pontresina railway station is a railway station in the municipality of Pontresina, in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. It is located at the junction of the Bernina and Samedan–Pontresina lines of the Rhaetian Railway.[1][4]
The station has a large station building and seven through tracks, numbered 1 to 7, but only three of these are served by platforms. A side platform adjacent to the station building serves track 1, whilst an island platform, accessed by a pedestrian subway, serves tracks 3 and 4. Adjacent to the station is a seven track depot building, responsible for maintaining the snow clearance equipment used on the Bernina line.[1][4][5]
