Morteratsch Valley, 3/1999

The view from a turnout of the Berninapass-Road, just below the first railway crossing, into the Morteratsch valley.

Diavolezza, 3/1999

Next to the cable car station Diavolezza, close to the Bernina-Pass. In the background, the three summits of famous Piz Palü. From here, the Morteratsch ski excursion starts.

Isla Persa, 3/1999

The steepest part of the Morteratsch ski excursion, Isla Persa. About 200m high, on average 42 degree steep, and narrow. A true double black diamond.

Persgletscher, 3/1999

Just below Isla Persa. The crevasses above are detoured using the steep Isa Persa descend.

Morteratschglacier, 3/1999

Almost done with the Morteratsch ski excursion. Down here, the glacier is crevassed, but gentle, and it is a great ski-out to the train station.

Stephan decided to take Valentin on his first climbing expedition...but unfortunately they left his harness in the hotel and  had to go on a 5  hour hike down to Monteratsch instead.
