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.

Piz d´Err is a popular ski tour to the panoramic summit. The technically undemanding ski tour begins in Chamanna Jenatsch. The only steep section is climbing on the summit. A first class experience is under stable conditions the descent to the opposite side, western slopes to Surselva, more precisely to the village Sur, a total of 1,800 m.

Schwarzhorn is an ideal ski tour for the last day at the Chamanna Grialetsch hut. From the top you can descend towards Davos - Teufi. Orientation-complicated is the beginning of the ascent to the Fuorcla Radönt saddle and then across the Vadret da Radönt valley to the top ridge of the Schwarzhorn. Drive back either to the Grialetsch hut or to Teufi. One of the three variants for the last day of the Haute Route Graubünden. In spring there is a bus from Teufi to Davos, from Davos to St. Moritz you can take the popular Rhaetian Railway.

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.

Morteratsch Glacier freetour 2978 m
Bernina Alps Switzerland
- Length of ascent0 km
- ascent0 m
- duration0,75-1,5 h

- Technical difficulty ♦♦◊◊
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.
