What to experience
Trip to the Diavolezza (7 minutes)
From the valley station it goes up 900 meters in altitude. After just a few metres you will see the glacier tongue of the Pers Glacier on the left, the rock faces of Piz Palü on the right. The higher you get, the wider the view becomes: The Piz Bernina is getting closer and far below the Engadine Lake District is slowly appearing.

- Tip: Families benefit from family discounts at checkout (not online).
Sun terrace with glacier view
Once at the top, you sit on the panorama terrace of the Berghaus. In front of you: Piz Palü and Piz Bernina, including the Pers and Morteratsch glaciers.
