The Diavolezza Berghaus is a great place at 3000 m. The view from the terrace of Palü and Bernina is fantastic. Definitely one of the best views in the Alps. Excellent cuisine. The highlight is the highest whirlpool in the Alps. Starting point for the ski tour to the most popular non-4000 in the Alps - Piz Palü. Legendary sightseeing descent on the Pers Morteratsch glacier. A long ski tour leads to the double summit of Piz Zupo and Piz Argient. Simply an absolute top!

Piz Cambrena 3601 m
Diavolezza Berghaus Bernina Switzerland
- Length of ascent6 km
- ascent1410 m
- duration6,5-8 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦◊
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦◊
Piz Cambrena is a bit of a minor interest. In contrast to the more famous mountains - Palü, Bernina, Zupo etc. - the ascent starts from the road to Passo Bernina or from Ospizio Bernina (hotel, train stop). Pay attention to the eastern orientation of the slope on warmer spring days - from morning strong sunshine on the main slope of the ascent and descent.

The Piz Palü with its characteristic three pillars is probably the most popular "not 4000" in the Alps. The exit from the Berghaus Diavolezza is ideal, it is also possible from the Bovalhütte. The key point for the ascent and descent is the passage of the Labyrinth between the Seraks. Continue over a relatively steep glacier to the ski depot. Then ascent with ice axe and crampons along the exposed summit ridge. The usual goal of ski mountaineers is the eastern summit - 3882 m.

The Morteratsch Freeride is a popular activity for skiers in the St. Moritz region. From the Berghaus Diavolezza you first drive down to the moraine of the Vadret Pers, which flows down from the Piz Palü. We continue around the seraks to the Morteratsch Glacier to the Morteratsch train station, where there is also a restaurant with a garden. This descent is mostly a promising ski tour. If you want to enjoy perfect skiing, you have to cross the Pers glacier and climb the 500 vertical meters to Isla Pers. First-class powder is often waiting on the northern slope. I remind you that the best view of the surrounding mountains is possible from the whirlpool on the terrace of the Berghotel Diavolezza.

The freeride descent through the Val Arlas valley is easy to reach from the top station of the Diavolezza cable car. After a short arrival on the slopes, skate to the upper point of the ski lift and then left to the east slope, which leads the skiers into the north-facing valley. During the descent, the incline gradually decreases and at the end you drive around the Rhaetian Railway to the lower station of the Diavolezza cable car.

- Length of ascent7,5 km
- ascent1695 m
- duration8-10,5 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦◊
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦◊
Piz Zupo and Piz Agnel lie between neighboring massifs of Palü and Bernina. The greatest danger of this ski tour are the numerous crevasses that are often hidden under the snow. The skimo tour can be started in the nearby Rifugio Marco e Rosa or from distant Berghaus Diavolezza and Chamanna Boval.
