Bivio, the pearl on the Julier, certainly deserves its name from a ski tourer's point of view. Situated at almost 1,800 m above sea level on the eastern main Alpine ridge, the touring season starts quite early here.

And thanks to the high and sheltered location, it only ends late in spring. Countless worthwhile tour destinations along the Julier Pass do the rest. Piz Lunghin is certainly one of them and is one of the most beautiful panoramic peaks accessible from Bivio.
