Diavolezza es un enclave alpino en Pontresina, Suiza, a 2.973 metros de altitud, conocido por sus vistas espectaculares al Piz Bernina y el Persgletscher. Punto de partida para excursiones y disfrute de la majestuosidad de los Alpes engadinos.
Diavolezza is accessible year-round, but the cable car schedule varies: in summer (June-October) it operates from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and in winter (December-April) from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. You can arrive by train via the Bernina Express line to Ospizio Bernina station and then take the cable car; for more details, visit the official website www.diavolezza.ch or call +41 81 407 05 05.
Access is free once you are at the summit, but the cable car has fares: a round-trip ticket for adults costs about CHF 50 in summer and CHF 45 in winter, with discounts for children and families. You can buy tickets online at www.diavolezza.ch to avoid lines, and passes such as the Engadin St. Moritz Card include access.
It is recommended to spend at least 2 to 3 hours to enjoy the cable car, the panoramic views, and a short walk by the Pers Glacier. If you plan to hike or ski, allow half a day; it is ideal for a full day if combined with nearby activities.
Diavolezza, in the heart of the Swiss Alps, is famous for its views of the Bernina massif and the Pers Glacier, a UNESCO site for its natural beauty and Alpine heritage. Historically, it has been a key destination for explorers and skiers since the 1930s, symbolizing the grandeur of the Engadin region with its cable car inaugurated in 1960.
Summer (July-August) is ideal for hiking and clear views without snow, while winter (December-March) offers spectacular skiing. Go early in the morning to avoid crowds and enjoy the best light; check the forecast at MeteoSwiss for sunny days.
