Climbing tour | Piz Badile north edge with mountain guide

• Procedure and meeting place

  • Day 1 - Meeting point

    11.00 am, Bondo

    We’ll meet in the village of Bondo. You can get there by public transport or in your own car; there’s parking available at the Sasc Furä Hut car park.

  • Day 1 - Ascent to the hut

    1400 metres altitude

    300 Hm

    We start from Bondo with the hut ascent through the green Val Bondasca to the Sasc Furä hut and enjoy the Val Bregaglia with its uniqueness and beautiful views. During the ascent, we have plenty of time to get to know each other, share our expectations and get in the mood for tomorrow.

    In the evening, we plan tomorrow's tour together and enjoy a delicious dinner in the hut.

  • Day 2 - Badile north ridge

    1300 metres altitude

    800 metres altitude

    5a

    8-10h

    On the day of the climb, we set off early – by the light of our headlamps, we leave the last trees behind us and climb over slabs and boulders to the start of the route. Then the adventure begins: pitch by pitch, we follow the clear line of the north ridge – always with breathtaking views down into the valley and out to the surrounding mountain peaks. Once at the top, we take a break to recharge our batteries and enjoy the view. The descent follows the normal route. This requires concentration and sure-footedness and should not be underestimated, but our mountain guides will lead you safely to the Rifugio Gianetti, where we will spend the second night.

    As we raise a glass to celebrate a successful day’s hiking, we can take a look at the surrounding rock faces and plan together which (shorter) hike we might do on the third day. Dinner, featuring the classic primi and secondi as is customary in Italy, gives us the energy we need for the next day.

  • Day 3 - Climbing around the Rifugio Gianetti and descent into the valley

    200 metres of elevation gain

    1400 metres altitude

    5.00 pm, Bondo

    On the third day, there are various climbing options available around the hut. We can plan together the evening before which route we want to climb in the morning. After climbing, we refuel at the hut and then begin the descent. The hiking trail leads from the alpine landscape through different vegetation zones back down into the valley.

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