Piz Morteratsch 3751m
Up high and up close on the Biancograt.Piz Morteratsch 3751m
Eye to eye with the impressive Biancograt - the view from the summit of Piz Morteratsch is truly overwhelming. But this mountain has much more to offer than just the view of the neighboring four-thousand-meter peak. The tour itself is a real adventure: it leads through untouched glacier landscapes and offers varied climbing passages that are both technically challenging and enjoyable.

Day 2
Via the normal route to Piz Morteratsch
From the Bovalhütte, we head steeply uphill in the light of our headlamps on the clearly visible hiking trail. Passing the climbing garden, we reach the start of the rock section. After a short, steep but easy climb in grade II, we reach the Fuorcla da Boval. We continue with crampons to the summit of Piz Morteratsch, from where we can enjoy a breathtaking panorama. The Biancograt and Piz Roseg are close enough to touch.
The descent into Val Roseg is via the Tschierva hut. Here we can fortify ourselves for the last time before returning to Pontresina through Val Roseg.9h
