Piz Badile is a granite peak of 3,308 metres that rises on the Swiss-Italian border, in the Bregaglia range of the Grisons. Its steep rock faces are striking from the valleys below, and it is best known among climbers for its classic north ridge route.
What to expect
- Location: The mountain lies close to Soglio, Graubünden, in eastern Switzerland.
- Landscape: Dramatic granite faces and a high, rugged profile that make it one of the most recognisable summits in the range.
- Visit style: Mainly a mountain for experienced climbers, though its setting rewards anyone who comes to look at it from the valley.
