PIZZO BADILE

The Molteni Route is a long and rewarding climb that rises through the very heart of Piz Badile’s south face. With about 500 meters of enjoyable granite climbing, it follows slabs, dihedrals, cracks, and the striking central line of the wall. The route delivers a true alpine experience — wild, elegant, and marked by an unforgettable crux traverse halfway up. Thanks to its moderate difficulty and classic character, it’s a perfect choice for climbers looking for a full day on one of the Alps’ most iconic granite faces.
