Rheinwaldhorn, Mountain summit at Grisons-Ticino border, Switzerland
The Rheinwaldhorn, known as Adula, rises to 3402 meters with a northern glacier mantle and steep southern wall descending into Val Malvaglia.
The mountain stands at the intersection of ancient trade routes connecting the northern Rhine valley with the southern Ticino region through mountain passes.
Local inhabitants from both Ticino and Grisons maintain different names for the peak, reflecting the linguistic diversity of Swiss alpine communities.
Climbers can start their ascent from either Capanna Adula UTOE at 2393 meters or the SAC hut at 2012 meters, following marked trails.
The summit marks the watershed between the North Sea and Adriatic Sea basins, influencing water distribution across European river systems.
