route

Adula Via Malvaglia is an out-and-back hike in Switzerland's Ticino region, reaching a high point of about 11,000 feet. The route is roughly 2.4 miles long, and it gains and loses about 2,800 feet in total, which makes it a steep, technical climb rather than a straightforward day out. The nearest town is Torre, about 3 miles away. Because the elevation gain is so high, the hike demands experience and preparation. The route leads to the Adula area, where several huts and summits sit close together. Capanna Adula UTOE is less than a mile from the trail, and Capanna Quarnei is about 1.2 miles away. The Rheinwaldhorn and Grauhorn summits are each about a mile from the high point.
