The Diavolezza is a col and ski resort above the Val Bernina in Graubünden. The col has an altitude of 2958 m and is located between Munt Pers (northwest, 3207 m) and Piz Trovat (southeast, 3146 m).

From Diavolezza one can see the highest peaks of the Eastern Alps, including the Piz Bernina, and the Pers Glacier, a tributary of the Morteratsch Glacier.

Tourism

The mountain can be reached by cable car from Val Bernina, the Bernina Pass valley. At the base station of the cable car on 2096 m there is the Bernina Diavolezza railway station on the Bernina Line of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB)). At the top station on 2978 m, there is a restaurant with a panoramic terrace, as well as a hotel offering both hotel-class and bunk-style accommodations.

The Diavolezza is one of the ski areas of the Upper Engadine (from 1,896 m to 3,066 m). The skiing area is connected to that of Piz Lagalb, which lies on the opposite side of the valley. The two areas are usually promoted as one, called Diavolezza-Lagalb. The Diavolezza-Lagalb area is known for its difficult slopes, all red and black, as well as the good snow conditions lasting often as long as May. Especially popular is the difficult 10 km slope down the Morteratsch Glacier to the Morteratsch railway station (the slope on the glacier is marked and secured).

Each month at full moon, there is moonlight skiing in the evening.
