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 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 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 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.

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.

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.

Cima di Rosso je skialpová klasika v oblasti Forno. Ledovcová túra s vynikajícim výhledem na Munt Disgrazia a Piz Bernina. Kromě sjezdu po trase výstupu je možná sjezdová alernativa severním svahem, kde bývá často prašan.

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.

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.

- Fitness difficulty ♦♦◊◊
- Technical difficulty ♦♦♦◊
Pizzo Lucendro je výrazný vrchol nad Gotthardpassem a také prvotřídní rozhledna. Na túru lze vyrazit z údolního Realpu, snazší je start z chaty Rotondohütte. Po sjezdu nad úroveň salaší nastává dlouhý výstup členitým terénem, který nabírá na strmosti. Těsně pod skalním sedlem je v úzkém koridoru zvládání otočky nutností. Za sedlem následuje poměrně snadný výstup do sedla, k místu, kde bývá depo lyží. Při výstupu po hřebeni k vrcholovému kříži pozor na převěje a místy exponovaný terén. Při sjezdu za jarního firnu se vyplatí počkat v sedle, než slunce změkčí stinný svah pro velkolepý odpolední sjezd západním svahem. Z nejnižšího bodu návrat na chatu nebo sjezd až do Realpu.

- Length of ascent3 km

Breithorn can be rated as the lightest 4000 in the Alps. In any case, thanks to the support of the Klein Matterhorn cable car, which transports ski mountaineers up to 3880 m. From the cable car station (beautiful viewpoint) to the glacier plain below the summit, which can be often reached on skis. In good conditions, it is worthwhile to continue to the Schwarztor saddle and drive descent back to Zermatt. The second variant of the freeride is the descent from the Unterer Theodulgletscher. This descent is simply great up to Seehöre 2400.

The Ducan Gletscher is a summit with a wonderful view of the Piz Kesch and especially the Piz Ela. The ski tour starts in Monstein, where the highest brewery in Europe is located. The Fanezfurgga saddle leads to valley with a striking mountain. The end of the climb up is usually with ice axe and crampons. The descent through the Ducantal valley is oriented to the north and leads skiers into the Sertigtal valley. The route can also be done in the opposite direction. It is advisable to undertake the tour with the support of public transport.
