Val Minor is a valley in the municipal area of Pontresina, north of the Bernina Pass in Graubünden canton, Switzerland. The valley is at an elevation of around 2,400 m . The valley entrance lies between the Piz Lagalb and Piz Alv. Val Minor is flanked by Piz Alv and Piz Minor on the right and Piz Lagalb on the left. At the end of the valley is the mountain lake Lej Minor. At present, it is accessible on foot or by bicycle.
There are two hypotheses for the name of the valley. The first is that it is derived from the Romansh word mina with reference to historical mining that took place within the valley. The other is that it is derived from the Latin word minor , although there is no corresponding Val Maior.
