Piz Badile, Granite mountain summit in Val Bregaglia, Switzerland.
Rising to 3305 meters, Piz Badile features a north face that stands as a vertical wall of solid granite between Switzerland and Italy.
W.A.B. Coolidge completed the first ascent in 1867 with guides François and Henri Devouassoud, establishing the initial route on the south face.
The mountain's name derives from its shape, as Badile translates to shovel, reflecting its distinct profile visible from the Val Bregaglia valley.
Climbers access the mountain through three main facilities: Giannetti hut at 2534 meters, Sasc Furä hut at 1904 meters, and Sciora hut at 2118 meters.
The northeast face of Piz Badile belongs to an elite group recognized as one of the six major north faces of the Alps.
