Bernina Glaciers Clean-Up Day

The Bernina Glaciers Clean-Up Day last year was a huge success. Around 60 volunteers collected around 740 kilograms of rubbish on the Pers Glacier. The items found included wooden skis, insulation mats, decades-old tanning cream, cans, a camera, scraps of fabric, aluminum foil, polystyrene and much more. A unique opportunity to experience the wild glacier world of the Bernina massif up close and at the same time do it a noble service. The meeting point is at 8 a.m. at the ticket office at the Diavolezza valley station. We then take the gondola up to the Diavolezza where all volunteers are equipped with harnesses and crampons. After a short walk, we get down to business on the glacier in small groups: we collect as much rubbish as we can. We return to the Diavolezza mountain station around midday.
