EXPEDITION BERNINA 2013 EXP products accompanied us on our trip to the Bernina. We soon found that we could rely on them, even under extreme conditions. Three days, four peaks and lasting memories of a lonely, sublime mountain world. We crossed the Piz Bernina and Piz Palü in October in early-winter conditions; new snow had only recently fallen. In summer this tour is often crowded with people, but we didn t see another soul for three days. An unforgettable experience. Present at our Bernina Tour: Ruby EXP, Pacy EXP, Summiter EXP, Barrel EXP, Coban Jacket, Islington Pants Am Spallagrat with a view of Monte Disgrazia, 4.025 m 2 EXPedition special
