For snowboarders who like mountains...

This blog has been created with the purpose of compiling almost all my backcountry days from my first steps in the Cantabrican mountains to mountain ranges such as the Alps and the Pyrenees, and hopefully filled in the future with many travels in the pursuit of great rides and remote areas. Enjoy the reading!

Piz Chalchagn, 3156m...short trip to Pontresina


A 2 days ski trip to this part of the Grissoni. I was never here in the Bernina massif before. The debut could not be better. I chose this 3000m, which is a classic of the area. it offers stunning views of the Piz Bernina and the valley. 

I left the car at Morterasch and follow the well marked track. In the forest the snow was still powder.


Piz Bernina, the eastern most 4000m mountain.


Last steep slopes to the summit, facing the south, and offering in the descent a bit of spring snow.


Valley of St. Moritz from the summit.


Steepest part of the descent for the summit. Luckily the snow was not too hard, and reasonably good for the split.


The same part and the summit, seeing from below.


The views were wonderful during the whole descent.

And back to the car, sith stunning views from the Piz Bernina and Piz Palu. Around +1300m, great weather, quite good snow, and wonderful views….fantastic debut for 2020!


The day after I went the Diavolezza ski resto and then drove back to Genova. Driving is also a pleasure up here!
