To the dates and registration

Piz Palü lies 3900 metres above sea level in the middle of the Bernina Group. It is surrounded by imposing glaciers and steep rock faces. Thanks to the Diavolezza cable car, access to the massif is pleasant, and the Berghaus Diavolezza also offers a lot, the food and service are perfect. So we enjoy an evening together in the Berghaus and rise early in the direction of Piz Palü. The tour is perfect for every mountain enthusiast who has already gained some experience, the ascent is technically not very demanding, but the required physical condition is desirable.

We walk comfortably and enjoy the time together and the experience.
