Madrisahorn

Madrisahorn rises to 2,826 meters above sea level as the seventh highest peak in the Rätikon mountain range, featuring three prominent ridges extending northeast, southeast, and west toward Rätschenjoch.

The first documented ascent of Madrisahorn remains unrecorded in historical climbing literature, though the peak has served as a prominent landmark for local communities and alpine explorers for many decades.

The surrounding region maintains traditional alpine agricultural practices including seasonal cattle grazing on mountain pastures, while modern ski facilities and hiking infrastructure support year-round tourism activities.

Access to the summit typically begins from Klosters via cable car to approximately 1,887 meters elevation, followed by a three-hour hiking route through Gafier Valley and across Gafierjoch pass.

The mountain's name is occasionally confused with the nearby Austrian Madrisa peak, and climbers often challenge themselves on the steep north face routes rated at UIAA climbing grades I and II.
