Climbing Piz Bernina Italian Normal Route is an extraordinary mountaineering experience for expert alpinists, a unique journey through one of the most beautiful and majestic mountains of the Central Alps. It is a technical and demanding climb, perfect for those seeking a classic ascent on a remote and wild 4000-meter peak. It offers a varied mixed climbing (rock, snow, and ice) and an incredible panoramic views over the Alps.

Route Overview:

Day 01: approach to Marco e Rosa Hut
Start from the Campo Moro Reservoir (Lanzada, Valmalenco - 1829 m).
Ascend via the Fellaria Glacier, passing the Bignami Hut (2401 m) and reaching the Western Marinelli Pass (3081 m).
Cross the Upper Scerscen Glacier to arrive at the Marco e Rosa Hut (3597 m) after about 6-8 hours of hiking, with 1768 meters elevation gain.
Dinner and overnight stay at the refuge.

Day 02: Piz Bernina ascent
Depart at dawn from the hut and reach the shoulder of the Bernina at about 3850 meters: the route follows a stretch on snow and ice, up to the beginning of the South-West Ridge (Spallagrat). The ridge consists of rock climbing (III UIAA) and exposed snowy sections. The final stretch involves a steep mixed climb up to the summit cross of Piz Bernina (4049 m). The ascento to the summit takes about 4/5 hours and 452 meters elevation gain from the hut.

The long and demanding descent follows the same itinerary as the ascent, requiring caution in exposed sections. Return to the Marco e Rosa Hut, then down to Campo Moro.
