Description

Piz Badile is a granite summit in the Bregaglia on the Swiss–Italian border; Wikidata Q668321 records an elevation of 3,308 m. The North Ridge and the Cassin Route on the northeast face are alpine rock climbs. Climbers describe sustained climbing, wet rock and demanding descents as challenges beyond the technical grade. Hut access needs a separate check: an Albigna notice dated 24 August 2026 reports a temporary rockfall closure between Porchera and Sasc Furä and directs visitors via Cugian. SAC grades that alternative T4 and gives 5–6 hours to the hut, excluding the summit climb.

Routes

Akses pondok / Hut approach: Bondo–Cugian–Sasc Furä

+1380 m 5–6 jam satu arah / hours one way

The SAC hut approach via Cugian ends at the hut, not the Badile summit. It crosses exposed terrain and includes about 300 m of descent. Check local notices before departure.

North Ridge (Nordkante)

Alpine D (York MC)

York MC describes climbing the North Ridge from Sasc Furä and descending the south side toward Gianetti. The descent combines rappels with scrambling on sometimes loose rock. This is a specific trip account; historical access details must be checked against current hut notices.

Via Cassin (Northeast Face)

Sekitar / around French 6a; alpine multipitch

Jake Fojtik describes slabs, corners and chimneys leading to the summit ridge. Wet conditions slowed his team enough to require a bivouac; they later descended the Italian normal route to Gianetti. This is a trip account, not a standard timetable or topo.
