A city of winter Olympics has the most attractive and beautiful panoramic view with or without snow- you hardly have it without snow though.
Words cannot describe the view of these beautiful peaks. The cable car ride was smooth and we were happy they ran every 30 minutes. We enjoyed lunch at the restaurant. The food was good. I saw hikers in the area and would love to have done that.However, I wasn't prepared for the altitude. Hiking is not something to do if new to the altitude and only have 1 day. But I am very happy we traveled to Diavolezza!I was given excellent advice on travel to the area from Varenna, Italy, from contributer Engadiner. Anyone traveling to the area should follow his/her advice.
With our free travel card issued by our Pontresina hotel, we caught the train to Bernina Diavelozza and then one of the regular cable cars to Diavelozza. Having visited Morteratsch glacier the day before, we could see the other side of that where it meets with Diavelozza. Beautiful sunny day and small amounts of snow with just a couple of slopes groomed. Well worth the trip with stunning views all round.
Mountains, nature - it´s so beautiful - like a dream. We had only two days. But we go there for a holidays.
The clouds mask the view that you get until you get to the top! Sat outside and had a light lunch and cappuccinos overlooking the stunning glacier!
This is so amazing! I was not keen to go at first - have taken cable car to go to peaks such as Whistler where the view in summer I found not that spectacular. I am glad my husband persuaded to go as it was absolutely amazing. The kids were so excited, built a snowman and had snowball fight. We took some amazing photos, white snow against cloudless blue sky. The restaurant has a nice view of the mountain and we had lunch there. The food was quite good and we just took our time to enjoy the view. I would suggest for families with kids too young to hike around the peak, take the cable car up at around 9:30, take the time to enjoy the view and shoot some amazing photos, then have an early lunch. The sun was actually very strong, without you feeling it, so it is better to go in the morning. Even having applied sunscreen, my younger daughter still got a little sunburn on her face. So a hat and good sunglasses are necessary.
Great trip by boat, cog railway and gondola to the top of the world. When you arrive you are greeted by some fabulous views and hikes on the mountain. Wonderful highlight of our trip to Switzerland.
A bit foggy when we arrived but cleared up quickly. The views were amazing. We had lunch at the top of the lift. A bit pricey (9.50 cf for soup and 1850cf for spaghetti Bol ) but good and tasty.Note: the restaurant does not open during the summer also the bernina express train does not stop at this stop only the local or regional train
Take a ride to the top of this mountain and see the spectacular views of the Glacier ahead! There is so much to do in Switzerland but this is a must see!
We took two trains from St. Moritz to Bernina. Using our rail discount we took the tram up to Diavolezza. We got out at a facility that served beer and maybe food. Dominating the scene were mountaintops and a very big glacier and snow. We stayed up and enjoyed the view for three hours then rode the tram down to the bottom. In the bottom facility there was one large co-ed rest room.
