To the dates and registration

The northern edge of Piz Badile is an alpine classic - and quite rightly so: this elegant line stretches 1000 metres through compact, grippy granite up to the beautifully shaped summit. Harmonious, exposed and in a breathtaking setting - anyone who climbs here immediately understands why this tour is at the top of many people's wish list.

The climbing is consistently enjoyable and flowing. Fine slabs, easy-grip cracks and perfectly structured rock make every pitch an experience. Technically, the tour remains in the moderate range (up to 5a), but requires solid basic fitness, alpine flair and a good dose of stamina.

This tour is more than just an impressive climb - it is an overall experience in the midst of magnificent scenery and unforgettable climbing. A day that lingers and is addictive on granite.

  • Procedure and meeting place

    Bondo. Arrival by public transport or own car possible, parking at the Sasc Furä hut car park

    • Day 1 - Ascent to the hut

      1380m

      300m

      5-6h

      On the first day, we climb from Bondo through the green Val Bondasca to the hut and enjoy the uniqueness of Bergell.

    • Day 2 - Badile north ridge

      1300m

      5a

      On the climbing day itself, we set off early - in the light of our headlamps, we leave the last trees behind us and climb over slabs and boulders to the start. Then the adventure begins: pitch after pitch we follow the clear line of the north edge - always with breathtaking views down into the valley and of the surrounding mountain peaks.

    • Day 2 - Descent

      1500m

      After reaching the summit, we descend via the normal route on the south side to the Gianetti hut. After a coffee, we can descend directly to Bagni del Masino. However, you can also book another night in the hut, making the tour more comfortable and splitting the descent over two days.

      From Bagni del Masino, a taxi takes us back to Bondo.
