Piz Sardona

The mountain with the vibrant name Piz Sardona is located in the border area of the cantons of St.Gallen, Glarus and Grisons. Verrucano rock lies directly on the thin layer of Lochsite limestone and the flysch rock below. In the direction of the Calfeisen valley and Flims there are glaciers that have lost considerable length and volume in recent years. In front of the glaciers, beautiful moraines, polished rocks and gravel fields can be seen. The summit can be climbed from various starting points. A moderately difficult alpine tour starts from the SAC Sardona hut. The ascent across the Sardona glacier with a short climb below the summit takes about 3.5 hours (900 metres of elevation gain) from the hut.
