Route description
Chamanna da Tschierva - Vadrettin da Tschierva (glacier)
From the terrace of the Tschierva hut a well established path leads towards the glacier. After about 100 meters turn left (signpost). This path leads directly up to the small rock step above the hut. This short rock passage is easily climbed with the aid of iron steps and chains. Continue in walking terrain. At a creek at about 2780 m, turn left and head along a moraine in the direction of the Vadrettin da Tschierva (glacier). Skirt the edge of the glacier on rock slabs and boulders and continue higher (cairns) to an altitude of about 3200 m where the glacier is joined.
Vadrettin da Tschierva - Fuorcula da Tschierva - Piz Tschierva
Cross over the glacier in a wide arc beneath the south wall of the Piz Tschierva until under the Fuorcula da Tschierva. Ascend on talus (no tracks, possible cairns) directly up to Fuorcula da Tschierva. Continue along the east ridge (Ostrücken) towards the summit.
