Chamanna da Boval CAS

Chamanna da Boval CAS 2495 m

«All of a sudden you are in the midst of it and you feel the breath of the high mountains». The beautiful scenery above Morteratsch Glacier with the view of Piz Palü, Bellavista and Piz Bernina’s white Biancograt is amazing. The Bovalhut is starting point for ice and rock tours in the Bernina range. Access to climbing park and seven lengths climbing tour to Corn Boval. In winter there is a long ski-run from Diavolezza, only shortly interrupted by a small counterslope on Isla Persa.
