Let us see if anybody wants to find out the subject and the two different Standorte...
------------------------------------- A few days ago, a friend of mine asked whether I could identify an old B/W print which had been retrieved in St. Moritz, while emptying part of an hotel. Is shows a man wearing a large hat, holding huge skis in his right hand, while he stares at a rocky, but at the same time corniced, ridge in front of him. I would say that the print dates to the years 1920/30. (For me that man could well be Marcel Kurz!) The background is nearly non-existing, and widely covered by clouds, and it took me several hours of thinking to determine that the heroic man is (or, at least, should be) below the E ridge Piz Spinas. During the research the main help, to give a better shape to my fist intuitions, was the Alpenpanorama N.4602. Only later (after having mailed the answer) it came to my mind that, after all, I had also visited those places in the digital age. So, I discovered to have images and even a little Alpenpanorama from the central summit of Piz Palü. As usual in these cases, the little pano comes in the form of a series of images (three) which overlap by chance. Curiously enough, this pano-by-chance ends abruply at the Fourcla Prievlousa, exactly where the historic print ends! Two days later, I wondered if I had some tele version of this arrangement of Zupò - Bellavista - Bernina, and I came up with another little pano, ten years younger (24-03-2019), taken from the Cevedale. Previously it went unnoticed, since my attention, while processing the photos of that day, was all for the Monte Rosa, which was visible behind the Disgrazia, See the comments to N.35589, the 360° of the day, where of course you see little Bernina and just guess/imagine the Monte Rosa. In both works my attention/Sehnsucht goes to the Pizzo Zupò (the missed 4000 par excellence...), since once, "when I was young", I climbed it, with a friend, by skis directly from the Morteratsch train station. The next day we climbed the Piz Bernina but after that... driven by a terrible thirst (unexpectedly, the Marco e Rosa hut was not warded), we had the idea to drink at a waterfall flowing from vertical rocks below the Fortezza. At a certain point, together with the water came down blocks of ice, one of which hit a leg of mine. So, we had to ski down to Morteratsh at maximum speed before the leg would get too swollen, and this gave an abrupt end to our makeshift experience in the Festsaal der Alpen!!!

The Monte D******** in the left background of left picture seems so close that I think you used a good telephoto lens... hard to find the two Standorte (what's the italian word, "posizioni"? ). So I just guess...
For the left picture, I assume one of the Ortler peaks, Punta San Matteo?
For the right picture, you've been a bit more in the north and even in a bigger distance... Palla Bianca?
