Gordevio - Ör is a 14.8 km point-to-point hard hiking route in Switzerland, running from In Splüia to In Òvia. The route covers 1,726m of ascent and 2,986m of descent, with elevations ranging from 316m to 1,921m. Allow approximately 9h 17m for the full route.
The route is divided into 6 segments. The toughest stretch is the 9.6 km from Pizzo di Corbella to Pizzit, climbing 1,366m (allow 5h 31m for this section). In contrast, the 3.4 km from Cima di Aiarlo to In Òvia is much gentler.
About 63% of the trail is runnable, but the remaining steep sections will push most people into power-hiking mode. Some pitches hit 60% gradient, so trekking poles are strongly recommended.
Budget roughly 6,179 kcal of energy expenditure and 5.6 L of water.
Mid-altitude route up to 1922m. Accessible May–October.

Terrain Analysis
Surface & Technicality
Gradient describes steepness, not exposure, scrambling, footing or current conditions. Technical difficulty is unknown where no mapped rating is available.
Tree cover and UV
🌤️ Mixed. Sections above the treeline are open to the sky; lower sections have some canopy. Carry sun protection for the open parts.
Canopy is inferred from elevation against a 2000 m Alpine treeline and from gradient below it, not from observed tree data — treat it as an estimate. It is a different question from the terrain shade above, which is about whether a mountain is between you and the sun at a given time.
Current Conditions
Based on 1991–2020 climate averages, the weather on Gordevio - Ör is usually best from May to September. Snow is likely at the high point (1935 m) in January to February.

Source: TerraClimate 1991–2020 monthly averages. Averages for the area at each point’s elevation (4 km grid, corrected for height). Not a forecast or a report of current trail conditions. These values describe the whole trail's lowest and highest points. Snow at the high point is estimated with a simple snowpack model from these temperatures and precipitation, not observed; steep islands and high summits can hold more snow than it shows. Daylight is for the 15th of each month. Hut, transport and park seasons are separate: check them for your dates.
Averages cannot establish current trail conditions. Check recent local reports, the forecast and restrictions before departure. Snow and ice can persist on shaded sections or arrive outside the usual season.
