Piz Badile

Piz Badile (3,308 m) is a mountain of the Bregaglia range in the Swiss canton of Graubünden and the Italian region of Lombardy.

The name Badile means spade or shovel (arising from the mountain's appearance when viewed from the Val Bregaglia).

After several unsuccessful attempts by Italian parties in 1911, the ridge (IV, one pitch of V−) finally fell to Alfred Zürcher with the guide Walter Risch on 4 August 1923.

F. l'Orsa and André Roch found a more direct line on the ridge on the second ascent (18 July 1926).

Molteni and Valsecchi were already on the face when Cassin and his party started out, but the climbers subsequently joined forces.
