Description

Looking for a fantastic alpine ascent in the Eastern Alps? Then do not miss this chance to get to the top of Piz Bernina, a stunning 4,000-meter peak in Switzerland.

At 4,049 meters above sea level, Piz Bernina is the highest summit in the Bernina Range and the Eastern Alps. The mountain is situated in the Canton of Grisons in Switzerland and the range extends along Switzerland and Italy. On this program, we’ll take a route that will lead us across different peaks in the range.

First of all, on day 1, we’ll go from the Bernina Suot train station to Diavolezza Refuge, where we’ll enjoy dinner and spend the night. On day 2, we’ll start our ascension to the Vedretta di Pers and reach Piz Palü (3,901 meters). Afterwards, we’ll continue through the Bellavista Peak (3,922 meters) to the Marco e Rosa Refuge. Lastly, on day 3, we’ll reach the summit of Piz Bernina through the southeastern side and then head back to Diavolezza.

Please, keep in mind that it is mandatory for this program to have prior climbing experience and a good knowledge of the use of crampons. Moreover, it is important to have a very good fitness level.

Do you find this ascent attractive? Then all you have to do is send the request and make your reservation. I’ll be happy to be your guide.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
