The best MTB trails around Lake Bianco

There is only one 4000-meter peak in Graubünden, Piz Bernina (4048 m), incidentally the only 4000-meter peak in the entire Eastern Alps. It's probably not visible from here. It's certainly not depicted in this photo.

To return to Livigno, at the top of the Valle del Fieno, take the path on your left, you must carry the bike by hand. DO NOT take the path on the right, it is impassable and DANGEROUS.

The view alone... no words 🌞

After the climb there is a great view of Lago Bianco.

RHB station, Alp Grüm since June 5, 1910 The route between Ospizio Bernina and Poschiavo, on which the station is located, designed as a crossing station, was opened on June 5, 1910 by the Bernina Railway Company. This station, located at an altitude of 2091 meters in an incomparable panoramic location, is of course a well-documented vantage point. The Alp Grüm station is on the border between the German and Italian-speaking areas of Switzerland - geographically speaking, however, Alp Grüm belongs to the German-speaking area. From there, enjoy the unforgettable view of the Palü glacier, the Bernina massif, the Orobie Alps and the entire Valposchiavo!

RhB Station "Ospizio Bernina 2253 m a.s.l." The Ospizio Bernina (Bernina Hospiz) station, at 2253 m a.s.l., is the highest railway station in the Rhaetian Railway network. A special feature of the station on the Bernina Pass is a covered turntable for the snowplow. The station opened on June 1, 1909, with the extension of the Bernina Railway from Pontresina via Morteratsch. The gap was closed on July 5, 1910, from Bernina Pass via Alp Grüm to Poschiavo. The line was electrified from the outset. From the station's construction period, a staff housing building from 1912, designed by architect Nicolaus Hartmann, and the converter station have been preserved. Originally, the station was officially called Berninahospiz. The station building was also expanded in 1925, according to plans by Nicolaus Hartmann. The covered turntable, also built as part of the station expansion, also originates from his designs. Hartmann also designed the building for the next station on the Bernina Railway, Alp Grüm.

Lago Bianco, Bernina Pass at 2234 meters The Lago Bianco is a reservoir at the Bernina Pass and is located in the area of the municipalities of Pontresina and Poschiavo. The lake is located directly at the pass at 2234 meters above sea level. The Lago Bianco is bordered by two dams on its north and south sides and is around three kilometers long and about 800m wide. When filled to its maximum, the depth of the Lago Bianco is over 50 meters. The reservoir on the Bernina Pass is fed by various mountain streams and glacier water, while the Cavagliasch in particular leaves the lake. The whitish, somewhat milky-looking Lago Bianco gets its name (in German "White Lake") from the inflow of sand and glacier water. The Bernina Hospice (Ospizio Bernina) is located on the western shore of Lago Bianco, and the Rhaetian Railway's train line - the Bernina Express - also runs directly along the shore. The Bernina Pass road is also located on the western side, but not directly on the lake shore. In cold winters, the lake can freeze over and in some years the beautiful black ice forms. When the reservoir is then opened by the authorities, nothing stands in the way of ice skating on Lago Bianco. Text / Source: Schweizersee.ch https://www.schweizersee.ch/lago_bianco_pontresina/
