Description

The mountaineering adventures on Piz Badile have attracted mountaineers of all nationalities to Val Bondasca. Today, people meet in the cozy rooms of the Sasc Furä hut on summer evenings to set off the next morning on one of the many climbing tours on the Badile or Cengalo.

The new old trail follows the valley floor from Bondo on the north-eastern side of the Bondasca Valley. At around 1200 m, you reach the new suspension bridge that crosses the Bondasca and its debris cone. On the other side of the river, the path climbs steadily, crosses a branch of the Bondasca and continues roughly parallel to the valley floor to the east. At an altitude of 1400 m, the steeper and more challenging part of the tour begins. From here, the route climbs directly up the slope and makes several sharp turns to the right onto the rocky ridge. Between rocks and wooded ravines, the path repeatedly offers impressive views of the rock masses from the 2017 landslide and the Caciabela opposite. At 1800 m, you reach the gently rising plateau, where the Sasc Furä hut awaits around 100 m further up.

Hidden Gem

Overnight stay at the Sasc Furä hut.

The mountain hike can also be organized as a circular tour if you choose the route via Cugian for the descent.

The Sasc Furä is also part of the Sentiero Alpino Bregaglia, which connects the four Bergell SAC huts.

Safety Note

Mountain hiking trail - the steep part may include sections secured by chains and exposed sections. Sure-footedness and orientation skills are required.

Equipment

Mountain boots, food, water, trekking poles
