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.

Alpine Climbing · Bergell Mountains

Piz Badile (3,308 m) - NE face "Cassin" VI+ (V+ obl.)

Premium content Difficulty VI+, 6a difficult

10.8 km

13:00 h

2,131 m

2,132 m

Despite the bolted pitons, the "Cassin" remains a serious undertaking that should not be underestimated, as it is still difficult to retreat. The pretence of safety naturally also attracts inexperienced or overtaxed climbers, who help the bivouac box at the summit to regain its right to exist.

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

Premium content Difficulty VI+ moderate

3.8 km

7:00 h

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.

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!
