Piz Bernina is the only 4000m peak in the Eastern Alps. The greatest danger are the huge and numerous crevasses on the Morteratsch Glacier and the ridge to the summit. Piz Bernina sets off from Chamanna Boval or Rifugio Marco e Rosa on the plateau below the summit. Bernina is a demanding alpine challenge.

Pizzi dei Rossi 3026 m
Fornohütte - Capanna del Forno Bernina Alps Switzerland
- Length of ascent3 km
- ascent665 m
- duration4,5-6 h
- Fitness difficulty ♦♦◊◊

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.

- Length of ascent6,5 km

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 Surlej - Piz San Gian 3187 m
St. Moritz Bernina Alps Switzerland

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.
