This guidebook describes two treks in the Bernina region of the
Swiss-Italian Alps. The Tour of the Bernina covers 119km in nine
stages circling the Piz Bernina massif. Five days are spent in
Switzerland and four in Italy, however a number of inviting extensions
and detours are also described which add at least two days to the
total. The tour is suitable for trekkers with basic alpine walking
experience. While the highest point reached is 3002m, there are no
glacier crossings en route. The Alta Via Valmalenco in Italy is a
shorter, 8-stage trek over 94km, but is a more challenging route
suitable for trekkers with more experience. Almost every stage of both
treks can be accessed from a valley floor and public transport,
opening the door to multiple variants and shorter treks.Detailed stage
by stage route descriptions are given in combination with plenty of
background and practical information.
