One of the basic classic trips to the Bernina mountain range is to its eastern part. The basis is an exit by cable car to the Diavolezza station, from where you can easily climb to two three-thousand-meter peaks – Piz Trovat and Sass Queder. Then take a trip just a few kilometers next door to the Bernina Pass with its beautiful lakes. Finally, relax in picturesque Pontresina.

View of Bernina

About halfway between Pontresina and the lower station of the cable car, there are two bends in the road (just under a kilometer after the turn in the direction of the Morteratsch glacier) and from here there is a truly magnificent view of the Bernina massif. A beautiful start to the trip.

Beautiful lakes at the Bernina Pass

Altitude: 2 302 m / 7 552 ft

The Bernina mountain pass (2,328m) belongs to the high Alpine passes. The interesting thing is that there is a practically non-winding road leading from Sankt Moritz to it. The Bernina Pass is also famous for its beautiful views of mountain giants such as Piz Cambrena (3,606m). However, the main attraction here is the amazing lake Lago Bianco. You can see a lot of interesting places here during a short walk. continue reading
