Diavolezza (2'972 m)

Diavolezza (2'972 m)
Happy Fence Friday !

From here one has numerous possibilities to do a glacier hike.

"Diavolezza" means "she-devil" in the Rhaeto-Romanic language. The name comes from a legend:
Many years ago a wonderful mountain fairy lived at Munt Pers ("lost mountain", Rhaeto-Romanic). She was seldom seen by hunters and was often admired when she crossed the slopes of the Munt Pers to "Lej da la Diavolezza" (Lake of the She-devil) to take a bath. Then the young hunters became careless. They followed her over the rocks to her castle. But one hunter after the other disappeared. And so it happened to Aratsch, a young man from the village. Everywhere they looked for him in vain and finally they assumed he had fallen into a crevasse or crashed down. For those who were in the region at nightfall, carried by the wind, heard the plaintive voice of Diavolezza calling out: "Mort ais Aratsch!" (Aratsch is dead). Hence the name of the Alp Morteratsch in the basin of the Bernina group.
