Ride Camp Piz Palü | Ride MTB

Ride Camp Piz Palü

Piz Palü is perhaps the most beautiful mountain in Graubünden. The glaciated monument dominates the Bernina region and is the highlight of the ride camp on Saturday. After spending the night in the Berghaus Diavolezza, you ski to the summit with a mountain guide. The ski descent then leads down to the Bernina Pass and from there by bike along the legendary downhill trail to Poschiavo. Friday and Sunday are all about studded tires, as the trails in Graubünden's southern valley are already snow-free during this time.

A prerequisite for the camp is experience in ski touring in addition to the usual biking skills. Each participant brings their own equipment, including skis, skins, ice axe, crampons, rucksack, climbing harness and crampons. The equipment can also be hired from Go Vertical: price list. The rope is secured by the mountain guides.

Note: You can also register for this camp without a ride subscription using a separate form.
