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.

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.

Diavolezza Berghaus Bernina Switzerland
- Length of ascent6 km

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 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 - Piz Argient 3990 m

- Length of ascent7,5 km
- ascent1695 m
- duration8-10,5 h

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.
