Bellavista, Mountain summit at Italy-Switzerland border, Grisons

Bellavista is a glaciated ridge in the Bernina Range on the Italy-Switzerland border, with four summits along an east-west crest: 3,798 m, 3,885 m, 3,890 m and 3,921 m. It is separated from Piz Palü to the east by the Fuorcla Bellavista (3,676 m) and bounded to the west by the Pass dal Zupò (3,840 m). The Morteratsch Glacier flows north from the ridge, while the Altipiano di Fellaria glacier lies to the south.

The first traverse of all four Bellavista summits was made by Emil Burckhardt and Hans Grass on 10 September 1868. On 19 August 1889, C. C. Branch and B. Wainewright, with guide Martin Schocher, completed the first traverse of the Bellavista peaks together with the three peaks of the neighbouring Piz Palü.

The name Bellavista is Italian for "beautiful view", fitting a ridge that looks over the Morteratsch Glacier to the north and the Altipiano di Fellaria to the south. The border runs along the crest, so climbers pass between Italian and Swiss maps on the same traverse. The four tops are named by position, from the Northeast-Top to the Main-Top or Southwest-Top.

Climbers reach the summit via a snow arete traverse and can start from Bernina railway stations or mountain huts in the area. Proper equipment, experience with snow and ice, and an early morning start are essential for this alpine route.

The mountain features four separate summits with varying heights, from the main peak at 3,921 meters to the lower Northeast summit at 3,798 meters. These multiple peaks make the route technically interesting and offer different objectives for experienced climbers.
