About agriculture in Pontresina

Located in the Upper Engadin valley within the Canton of Grisons, Pontresina is nestled at the foot of the Bernina Range. The surrounding landscape is defined by high alpine peaks, ancient glaciers, and dense forests of larch and stone pine. The rural area features high-altitude meadows and rugged mountain terrain typical of the Swiss Alps.

Agriculture in this high-altitude region primarily revolves around alpine pastoralism and livestock farming. Local farms focus on cattle breeding and dairy production, with herds grazing on lush mountain pastures during the summer months. Sheep and goat farming are also common, contributing to the production of specialized mountain cheeses and organic meat products.

For agronomists and farm workers, opportunities are largely seasonal and centered on the summer grazing period. Jobs often involve herd management, maintenance of alpine pastures, and work in local dairies. Those coming to the area can expect a focus on traditional mountain farming techniques combined with modern organic standards within a highly demanding but scenic environment.
