Description

Impressive peak with central position in the Grison Alps. Good views of Bernina group and Silvretta. To mountain huts (Chamanna digl Kesch, Chamanna d'Es-cha) provide good starting points for a trip to this peak. The normal tour goes via Vadret de Portabella (glacier) and the east face (rock climbing up to UIAA grade II). Difficulty depends on conditions.
