Bernina Pass (2,330 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

I admit, I like taking this pass on the Rhaetian Railway to the Ospizio Bernina station and then just rolling down towards Pontresina.

Ascent to the Bernina Pass from Tirano

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

The Bernina from Tirano can definitely count itself among the Alpine titans - a difference in altitude of more than 1800 meters requires a few grains!

Passo di Canfinal

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This 2600 m pass connects the Val Malenco and the Val Poschiavo, offering a spectacular view of both valleys.
Practically attached to a bivouac, the path to get there is steep but not difficult.
