Ago di Sciora, Mountain peak in Grisons, Switzerland

The Ago di Sciora rises 3,205 meters above sea level, forming a sharp granite needle within the Sciora group of the Bregaglia Range of the Alps.

The first successful ascent of this challenging peak was achieved on June 4, 1893, by mountaineers Anton von Rydzewski, Christian Klucker, and Emile Rey.

The mountain stands as a symbol of alpine mountaineering excellence in the Graubünden region, attracting technical climbers from multiple European countries.

Climbers require 10 to 12 hours to complete the normal route on the south face, with access available through the Albigna or Sciora mountain huts.

The mountain's eastern face receives minimal climbing activity due to the extensive approach across rubble fields created by glacier retreat.
