To the dates and registration

Piz Bernina towers high above the Engadin, surrounded by large glaciers and is covered in snow this season. We meet the afternoon before at the Diavolezza mountain station and enjoy the evening atmosphere and the view of tomorrow's destination. An early start brings us to Fortezzagrat at dawn. We scramble up it and reach the Bellavista terrace. The route over the crevasse zone and on to the summit is impressive. We enjoy this experience together and ride over the glacier to Morteratsch. An impressive and imposing tour!

You are welcome to join us on the Palü the days before!
