Excursion Diavolezza from St. Moritz
Hunters once carelessly followed the beautiful, red-haired mountain fairy and disappeared forever - it is said that the mountain got its name "Diavolezza" from this she-devil. In summer, the Diavolezza awaits with a wide range of activities: a beautiful panoramic terrace with a view of the "ballroom of the Alps", a mountain house, the VR Diavolezza - the highest virtual reality experience in the world and, of course, numerous hiking trails and via ferratas.

This day trip takes you down to the valley town of Poschiavo.
