For most, Pix Ursera will likely be the goal - but if weather, condition, and/or snow conditions do not permit, Plan da Val Mera is also a nice turnaround point.

From the hamlet of Pisciadel heading up the valley and at the Sfazu guesthouse, cross the road to the Bernina Pass. Now a well-used path leads to the Rifugio Saoseo. From there, continue following the forest road (now heading north) until it ends at Camp / branches off into smaller trails. Here head northwest between the massifs of Corn da Mürasciola and Corn da Camp into the Val Mera. Depending on whether it has been tracked, the entry may not be easy to find. Now always follow the valley to its end, and finally, steeply ascend on the left valley end to the plateau of Pla da Val Mera and possibly further to the ridge between Corn da Mürasciola and Pix Ursera.
