Bernina-Massiv

Im Südosten des Bündnerlandes erreichen die Gipfel des Alpenbogens noch einmal die magische Höhe von 4000 Meter. Das gesamte Bernina-Massiv ist wild und hochalpin, aber nur der Gipfel des Piz Bernina überragt die 4000-er Grenze. Diese Grenzregion zu Italien bietet eine Vielzahl von abwechslungsreichen bis anspruchsvollen Gratüberschreitungen.
