Bernina guided climbing traverse

The Bernina is a mountain range in the east of Switzerland and north of Italy. Piz Bernina, rising to 4049m, is its highest point. It has many impressive peaks and in this occasion we will ascend three of them.

There are many superlatives describing this special place. "The Queen of the East Alps" is one of them, and another is "The festival room of the Alps".

During this traverse we climb the main peaks of the Bernina massif. We start the trip at Pontresina, an idyllic village. The first adventure is climbing up to the Tschierva hut. Then we aim for the Piz Roseg, the second highest peak of the massif. It's not as popular as Piz Bernina, but the climb is outstanding. The views from the summit are a perfect reward for this challenging ascent.

Our second objective is Piz Morterratsch. The scenery from its peak is particularly fantastic. Again, a technically challenging ascent.

On the fourth day we climb the bianco ridge, "the classic tour" in this area. A perfect combination of rock and snow ridge. After a long day we reach the Marco e Rosa hut on the Italian side.

And the last adventure is the traverse of the Piz Palü summits on a sharp ridge. We return to the valley via Diavolezza gondola.

This is certainly a complete program to explore Bernina! Join me this summer for an Alpine adventure.

The next fixed departure is on July 3rd 2017.
