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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Skvělým skialpovým vrcholem uprostřed oblasti je Monte Rosso. Výhodou okruhu je maximalistický krajinářský zážitek. Po výstupu do dvou sedel se otevřou vždy nové výhledy. Od chaty míříme nejprve do sedla Sella del Forno. Koukáme na Berninu a dolů na skiresort Valmalenco. Krásným kotlem po krátkém sjezdu traverujeme a míříme nahoru do druhého sedla – Passo di Val Bona. Po strmějším svahu do místa na skalním hřebenu, kde je skidepot. Odtud v mačkách na vrchol. Na lyžích parádní sjezd jihozápadním svahem na ledovec Forno a zpět nahoru k chatě.

Skialpová Pizzi dei Rossi je ideální volbou pro poslední den na chatě. Návrat na parkoviště pod Malojapassem má úplně jinou úroveň, než přesun údolím. Výstup z chaty vede často traverzy zápaního svahu, na jaře jsou haršajsny nutností. Náročný je až výstup prudkým svahem do sedla, většinou bude nutné nasadit mačky a lyže dát batoh. Ze sedla nalehko a bez lyží na vrchol. Sjezd severním kuloárem je zprvu velmi prudký a bmusí se projet zúžením mezi skalami. Dál po pláních je už luxusní svah a když je dobrý sníh, je to fantastický sjezd. Ten pokračuje i údolím Val Muretto až na planinu Canis. Pár krátkých protisvahů na kraj soutěsky a pak už zase jen dolů k mostu přes horskou bystřinu a po rovině na parkoviště.

St. Moritz Bernina Alps Switzerland
- Length of ascent4 km
- ascent990 m

Piz Surlej and Piz San Gian is an interesting ski tour over two neighboring peaks. In the morning you take the cable car to Piz Corvatsch and enjoy the wonderful view of the Albula Alps as well as the lakes Sils and Silvaplana. Follow the ski slope to the Margun Vegl cable car station or to the upper station (2643 m). A logical line to Piz Surlej and further along the ridge to Piz San Gian. And then a spectacular descent to St. Moritz. Warning, some slopes of this ski tour have avalanche potential, especially the descent from the San Gian summit to St. Moritz. This tour is for skiers with good riding technique.

Na vrchol Finsteraarhorn míří náročná ledovcová túra z chaty Finsteraarhornhütte. Hned od začátku túry jsou cestou velkolepé výhledy. Náročnější je překonání skalního žebra. Po ledovci do sedla Hugisattel s leteckým pohledem na východní stěnu. Zde je skidepot a dál v mačkách a s cepínem na skialpové poměry náročným terénem. Obtížnost lezení zásadně ovlivňuje množství a konzistence sněhu na skále. Náročný sjezd prudkými svahy kopíruje linii výstupu.

Blanc de Moming - Dôme Circuit 3649 m

- Fitness difficulty ♦♦♦♦
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦♦
Blanc de Moming - Dôme is a beautiful but also very demanding complex ski tour. First ascent from Cabane Mountet to La Forcle saddle and then not very easy descent and then ascent along the Glacier du Besso. At the end of the glacier there is an uncomfortable border between snow and rock. Climb a rocky slope. First along a flat ridge, which is increasingly exposed. It is recommended to belay in windy weather. At the beginning of the spectacular descent along the Glacier de Moming, pay attention to the gigantic cracks. The departure line (keep left) turns from the northern to the western slope. After reaching the valley there is an easy ascent along the Glacier de Zinal back to Cabane Mountet.

The Hubelhorn skitour is an ideal extension of the crossing between the Bächlitalhütte and Gaulihütte. After a short ride from the saddle, Obri Bächlilicke climbs through the steep east slope into the rocky saddle and then slightly up the crossing to Hubelhorn. Beware of some hot spots at the Gauligletscher Glacier. From Gauli hut is a nice tour through the northern slope, but in the opposite direction.
