The Bernina Range is separated from the Albula Range in the north-west by the Maloja Pass and the Upper Engadin valley; from the Livigno Range in the east by the Bernina Pass; from the Bergamo Alps in the south by the Adda valley (Valtellina); and from the Bregaglia Range in the south-west by the Muretto Pass. The Bernina Range is drained by the rivers Adda, Inn and Maira (Mera in Italy).
The term Bernina Alps can also be used in an extended sense to include both the Bernina and Bregaglia ranges; this is the area coloured red on the map (right) and labelled ‘Bernina Alpen’.

La chaîne de la Bernina est un massif des Alpes orientales centrales et des Alpes rhétiques. Il s'élève entre l'Italie (Lombardie) et la Suisse (canton des Grisons).[it] Massiccio del Bernina
Il massiccio del Bernina è un massiccio montuoso delle Alpi Retiche occidentali (Alpi del Bernina), situato al confine tra Lombardia (provincia di Sondrio) e Svizzera (Canton Grigioni). Culminante a 4050 m s.l.m. col pizzo Bernina, il quattromila più orientale delle Alpi, è uno dei principali e più alti massicci montuosi delle Alpi, il più elevato delle intere Alpi Retiche davanti al gruppo Ortles-Cevedale. La vetta principale è per circa 200 metri in territorio svizzero; la Punta Perrucchetti alta 4020 m e seconda vetta del Gruppo, è invece la cima più alta della Lombardia, conosciuta pure come la 'vetta italiana' del Bernina. Oltre a queste due cime di oltre 4000 metri, il Gruppo conta ben 6 vette sopra i 3900 metri tra cui il Pizzo Zupò che con i suoi 3996 metri sfiora di pochissimo i 4000. È attraversato dalla Ferrovia del Bernina che collega Tirano a Sankt Moritz, ed è stato dipinto dall'importante pittore lombardo Emilio Longoni. È sede di numerosi ghiacciai molto estesi sia sul versante svizzero che su quello lombardo.[ru] Бернина (горный массив)
