From the station at Morteratsch (1896 m) follow the signs. Go up the rocky ridge to an elevation of 1978 m. The well- kept trail follows along the moraine on the orogrphic left of the small glacier of Morteratsch (left when facing downvalley). Come to Chamin (2343 m), where you can pass a short climb up a rock face with the help of a fixed rope. Shortly after the small glacier of Pers joins the main glacier you'll come to the mountain hut.

To Chamanna Diavolezza 2973 m (F; 2 hrs and 30 min).
To Marco e Rosa e Agostino Rocca mountain hut. Route in a magnificent glacial surroundings that runs along the wide ridge of Fortezza (F; 5 hrs).
To Chamanna Tschierva 2583 m, via Fuorcia da Boval 3347 m (E; 3hrs). From Chamanna da Boval (2495 m) go up a steep trail towards the west to come almost directly below the slopes of Corn Boval. Around 2800 m of elevation the path becomes less visible. Turn left (southwest) over debris from the moraine to come to the small glacier of Boval Dadains, which you then ascend, heading for the rock wall that precedes the obvious pass of Fuorcla da Boval (3347 m). Over a gully which slants to the left or over the easy rock steps on the gully's right (red circles) then a last turn towards the south, you'll come to the pass. From here go down to the small glacier of Tschierva, going first west and then southwest to take you to the right orographic side of the valley (right side when facing downvalley). High on the moraine at the foot of Piz Tschierva, at a point known as Terassa (3120 m), you'll see the tracks that lead steeply down to the mountain hut.

Route: From Chamanna da Boval (2495 m) go up a steep trail towards the west to come almost directly below the slopes of Corn Boval. At around 2800 m of elevation the path becomes less visible. Turn left (southwest) over debris from the moraine to come to the small glacier of Boval Dadains, which you then ascend, heading for the rock wall that precedes the obvious pass of Fuorcla da Boval (3347 m). Over a gully that slants towards the left or over the easy rock steps right of the gully (red circles) then a last turn towards the south, you'll come to the pass (F; 2 hrs). From here continue going south around the large rocky spurs of the ridge along the snowy slopes of the western side. Then return to the wide ridge above the rock spurs to come to the foot of the glacial mound (3611 m). You can ascend this mound after passing the terminal crevasse or you can go around it on the left over easy snowy slopes. Return to the ridge just before the top to quickly reach the summit.
