4-day ski touring trip in the Bernina massif

The Bernina is a magnificent massif located in the Swiss alps, north of Italy. It is one of the highest ranges in the Alps. And within the range, it is Piz Palü (3901m) the highest peak, and the one we will visit.

Due to its almost perfect shape and incredible beauty and colors, we also call this stunning massif the silver castle of the Alps. There are many amazing places we can go to on this trip. So four days might just be enough to see all its highlights.

Our meeting point upon arrival will be Surlej, a very famous ski resort. Then we’ll head towards the dazzling lake Lej Alv. After enjoying such a wonderful sight, I’ll take you to the Chapütschin mountain (3359m). Finally we’ll stay at Coazhütte.

The following day we’ll explore Piz Sella (3506m) and ski tour over mesmerizing glaciers. By the end of the day we’ll reach the Marinelli hut (2813 m).

Next day’s adventures will be equally impressive. We’ll ski tour to Piz Palü, where we have two options. We could either, ski downhill to the Boval hut enjoying top quality snow. Or, we can take the Fourcla Bellavista route, through a patch know as the Labyrith, until we reach the Boval hut. Both options are dazzling. And in both options you’ll see glaciers and enjoy steep descents.

And on our last day we’ll head from the Boval hut to the Fourcla Misaun and the Piz Morteratsch (3751m). After that, we’ll get to ski downhill to the Val Roseg and then to the train station in Pontresina.
