OverviewPiz Bernina-exceeding: Bianco ridge - Piz Bianco 3995m - Piz Bernina 4049m- Spalla ridge
Start in the Tschierva Hut 2583m. Along a fixed rope route with ladder scions and steel wire ropes up to Fuorcla Prievlusa at 3430m. Then you reach the most beautiful fin of the alpes called Bianco ridge. The very narrow and exposed fin leads to the Piz Bianco at 3995m. Now the fin changes to be cliffy (climbing places at 3rd degree) and leads to the Piz Bernina at 4049m. The descent over the shorter and also narrow fin, where two further abseiling places follow. Back underneath the Bellavista, over the fin of Fortezza downward climbing to Morteratsch. It is about a 13 hour mountain marathon! The Piz Bernina is the only 4000m from the canton Grison (Graubünden) and the only one in the eastern alps.
