The 10 most beautiful alpine climbing routes in the canton of Graubünden

Alpine Climbing · Montafon

Gross Litzner - Seehorn crossing

recommended route Difficulty IV, 4a difficult

17.9 km

9:14 h

1,491 m

1,540 m

The most beautiful tour in the Silvretta. Hiking, scrambling, abseiling, glacier contact in a magnificent mountain setting. Whether as a day tour or with an overnight stay at the Saarbrücker Hütte, it is an absolute highlight for climbing mountaineers. However, you should be aware that the tour has many exposed passages and that you can only belay part of it. Belaying must be done quickly and routinely so that you can finish the tour in daylight. It's better to set off earlier and then enjoy a cool drink for longer at the Saarbrücker Hütte.

Piz Frachiccio (2,905 m) - O-wall "Via Roland" VI+ (VI obl.)

Premium content Difficulty VI+ moderate

3.8 km

7:00 h

518 m

The "Via Roland" is still a fairly new Swiss-style plaisir route. Nothing stands in the way of unrestricted enjoyment here, as long as a rope partner can master the upper VI degree on flat sections.

recommended route Difficulty 5c+ moderate

4.5 km

Schöne und sehr lohnende Granitkletterei unweit der Albignahütte. Die Tour verläuft immer entlang schöner Risselinien und über zwei super Dächer, die sich aber perfekt absichern lassen.

Piz Badile north ridge - overview picture with route (topo)

Alpine Climbing · Bergell Mountains

Piz Badile (3,305 m) north edge - dream edge in granite

recommended route Difficulty V+, 5a difficult

4.3 km

12:00 h

1,400 m

800 m

The north face of Piz Badile (3,305 m) is one of the greatest edge climbs the Alps have to offer! The demands on the climbers are also "great": You need to be in good physical condition for the scheduled 12 hours (20 - 25 pitches) because you have to stay focussed right to the end, even on the descent! The climbing difficulties (V+) must of course be tackled safely with a rucksack (provisions, crampons for the way back...) and comfortable shoes. The higher you climb, the more intermediate protection and belays you have to set up yourself. And for those with a good sense of direction, this is a real dream tour in granite!
