Vogelberg

The Vogelberg reaches an elevation of 3,218 meters within the Lepontine Alps, featuring steep slopes on its southern face and glaciated sections on its northern side.

The Paradies Glacier on Vogelberg's northern flanks marks the source of the Hinterrhein river, which has sustained communities in the region for generations.

The mountain stands between German-speaking Grisons and Italian-speaking Ticino, representing the linguistic and cultural diversity of Switzerland's Alpine communities.

Mountaineers accessing Vogelberg typically begin their ascent at Passo dei Cadabi, located at 2,915 meters, requiring advanced climbing equipment and glacier traversing skills.

The mountain contains multiple secondary peaks, including Pizzo Cramorino at 3,134 meters and Rheinquellhorn at 3,200 meters, forming a substantial glaciated massif.
