Piz Bernina - Binacograt/ Piz Palü

The Bianco Ridge is a great dream of many mountaineers. The firn ridge is also called the "ladder to heaven", as it stretches uniquely up to Piz Bianco. Hurry up, because this firn lollipop also melts with the warming of the kilma!

From Pontresina we reach the Tschiervahütte (with or without a horse-drawn carriage, depending on your mood).
Just behind the hut, the path begins towards Fuorcla Prievlusa and thus to the entrance of the Bianco ridge. At the beginning in firn and shortly before the finish in rock we reach the summit. On the south side of Piz Bernina is the Marco e Rosa hut, where we spend the second night.
On the last day we cross the Piz Palü and reach the Diavolezza, from where we take the train down to the valley.
