Description
Are you looking for an exciting mountaineering adventure in the Alps? Then I have the perfect tour for you! Join me on this unforgettable 2-day ascent to Piz Bernina, starting at Diavolezza!
Piz Bernina (4,048m), also known as Pizzo Bernina, is the highest mountain in the Eastern Alps. Part of the Rhaetian region, it is near the Swiss resorts of Pontresina and St. Moritz. This huge peak was first climbed in 1850 and is nowadays a famous destination among mountaineering lovers.
This 2-day tour starts in Diavolezza, in the Canton of Graubünden, in Switzerland. From there we will cross a stunning glacier to reach the Marco e Rosa Hut (3,610m), within Italian territory, where we will spend the night.
Then, the next day, we will keep ascending on this impressive glacial and rocky environment, all the way up the top of Piz Bernina. From the summit, we will enjoy breathtaking views of the Swiss and the Italian Alps!
Please note that this trip requires a good fitness level and some mountaineering experience: we’ll need to overcome some climbing passages and icy slopes.
So, if you are up for this unforgettable alpine adventure, please contact me! Let’s climb Piz Bernina, the highest peak of the Eastern Alps!
Additionally, I also offer a 3-day mountain traverse to Adamello, Italy. Check it out!

Richard
A very interesting tour of Piz Bernina with a mixture of snow/glacier and rock climbing. Definitely not easy though and requires a good head for heights. Renzo is a very good guide and has an excellent knowledge of the area and the climbing sections. As a result, we were able to quickly climb the final section from the hut and had the summit all to ourselves.
Philip
Renzo is a considerate, skilful guide and a good companion. Highly recommended. Under the conditions we climbed in (i.e. warm and cloudy) the route is less highly rated. The track through the "Eck" was much more demanding than Goedecke suggests in his book "4000er" and I would only attempt it again earlier in the year. Renzo took loads of photos so that was good. Grazie Mille!
