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.

Diavolezza Berghaus Bernina Switzerland
- Length of ascent6 km
- ascent1410 m
- duration6,5-8 h

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.

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 freeride descent through the Val Arlas valley is easy to reach from the top station of the Diavolezza cable car. After a short arrival on the slopes, skate to the upper point of the ski lift and then left to the east slope, which leads the skiers into the north-facing valley. During the descent, the incline gradually decreases and at the end you drive around the Rhaetian Railway to the lower station of the Diavolezza cable car.
