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 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.

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.
