Description

Experience the Morteratsch glacier forefield in a different way, away from any bustle. The snowshoe route starts on the left after the Morteratsch railway crossing and leads you up the valley towards the Bernina massif. Shortly before the glacier tongue, you will be rewarded with an impressive view of the Piz Bernina. The return path follows the same route.
