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.

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.

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.

Piz Palü 3882 m
Diavolezza Berghaus Bernina Alps Switzerland
- Length of ascent6,5 km

- duration6,5-8,5 h

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.
