Author’s recommendation
If you arrive by train overnight, you can spend your first day in the Bernina on this beautiful one-day hike.
The times listed under "Duration" are the "time in motion"; for the actual duration of the hike with a group, multiply these times by 2 to 2.5.

Roadbook
From Diavolezza, we head west onto the plateau above the lateral moraine. This is where we put on our skins. First, we make a leisurely trek northwest toward a gully, which then leads northward—somewhat more steeply—up the gentle summit slope of Mont Pers. If snow conditions are good, we’ll ski all the way to the summit; otherwise, we’ll cover the last few meters at a leisurely pace on foot.
