Key points at a glance
Living in Pontresina (roughly 2’162 residents (postal code 7504))? This guide frames the topic of "Mortgage and financing" for the canton of Graubünden: which rules apply nationwide, which are cantonal — and how to bring insurance, your tax return and pension planning into a coherent whole? Assur-IA works in an educational, comparative way, as a complement (not a substitute) to individual advice.
In Switzerland some rules are cantonal (tax rates, deductions, allowances), others federal (LAMal, federal law). In Pontresina, your actual circumstances — renting or owning, employment status, household size, vehicles, cross-border income — therefore shape risk and priorities far more than the postal code. The nearest municipalities — Celerina/Schlarigna (3 km), Samedan (4 km), Saint-Moritz (5 km) — each have their own local page as well. The sections below list the key points to check.

Mortgage and financing in Pontresina: rate, affordability, protection
Anyone buying or renewing a mortgage in Pontresina operates within the usual framework: equity (at least 20%, part of it "hard" equity), an affordability calculation with a notional rate and mandatory amortisation of the second mortgage. Whether a fixed-rate mortgage, SARON or a combination suits you better depends on rate expectations, risk capacity and planning horizon.
Plan the protection at the same time: building cover, loss of earnings and death-risk cover belong in the package depending on the loan-to-value. And it pays to look at the tax details — mortgage interest is usually deductible, and indirect amortisation via a 3a account is often preferable to direct amortisation. A projection over 10–15 years brings clarity.
Work through before signing
- Affordability if rates rise (notional interest rate).
- Rate model: fixed, SARON or mixed — matched to horizon and risk capacity.
- Direct vs. indirect amortisation (pillar 3a) and the tax effect.
