Roadbook
- You get off at Bernina Diavolezza. Take the path to the cable car of the Diavolezza (the little devil), which you see to your left. However, go a few meters straight ahead first. At the signposts, turn right. The path now follows the railway line and the Ova Bernina. It meanders pleasantly, gently descending through the alpine meadows. Occasionally, you have to share the path with mountain bikers.
- At one point, the path briefly goes steeply uphill in a small forest, and you turn left. Between the trees, you can catch a glimpse of the Morteratsch glacier.
- To your right, you hear the splashing of waterfalls. Leave the path briefly to rest by these beautiful little waterfalls.
- You return to the path, which from here descends rather steeply.
- Eventually, you reach the Morteratsch station.
- If you have some time left, you can go behind the station to the Alp Schaukäserei. On the way to the cheese factory, there is a petting zoo with some goats and rabbits. From 9:30 to 11:00 and from 13:30 to 15:00, the cheesemaker is happy to show you how cheese is traditionally made. With some luck, you may even help. You can buy homemade products there or have a drink (https://www.alp-schaukaeserei.ch/de/alp-schaukaeserei).
- Allow 5 minutes to return to the Morteratsch station.
Variant:
If you have enough time, you can also enjoy the eternal snow of the Bernina massif at 2978m altitude with the Diavolezza cable car and look down at the Morteratsch and Pers glaciers.
