Bellavista is a 39210NaN0 mountain in the Bernina Range between Switzerland and Italy. The mountain is bounded on the east by the Fuorcla Bellavista and on the west by the Pass dal Zupò. There are four summits on the main ridge, at the heights of 3798 m (Northeast-Top), 3885 m (Middle-Top), 3890 m (Northeastern Fore-Top), and 3921 m (Main-Top/Southwest-Top) from east to west.[2]
