Tour Description

Even though I have been climbing this classic up to the only 4000m peak of the Eastern Alps: it is still an amazingly impressive experience to me. The ascent to the Fuorcla Prievlusa in the light of our head lamps. The first climbing spots at the break of dawn. And then the white ladder to the heavens – the Bianco ridge leading to Piz Bernina at first day light. Before reaching to the highest peak of the Eastern Alps we have master the “Gratgendarmen” (rock towers in the ridge). After this accomplishment, the descent along the Spallagrat to the Marco e Rosa Hut is pure bliss.
