MountaineeringWe are located in the heart of the Rhaetian Alps, the home of the 4000m mountain further east of the Alps, the pizzo Bernina. Crowning the majestic peaks of Piz Palù, Pizzo Scalino and Disgrazia.
The term mountaineering describes many different activities including trekking, climbing and scrambling. People have been summiting mountains all over the world since the dawn of human existence for religious and mythological reasons throughout history – many of us strive for the goal and feeling success of reaching the summit. "don't climb mountains to show how strong you are, do it to understand how small you are" |
