Piz Vial, Mountain summit in Graubünden, Switzerland

Piz Vial rises to 3,168 meters in the Lepontine Alps, with its northern ridge separating two glaciers: Glatscher da Valdraus and an eastern glacier.

The mountain's name, documented in local maps since the 19th century, reflects the Romansh language heritage of the Graubünden region.

Piz Vial stands near the Greina plateau, a protected natural area that holds significance for Swiss alpine conservation and traditional mountain activities.

Climbers can access Piz Vial through three mountain huts: Terri at 2170 meters, Scaletta at 2205 meters, and Motterascio at 2193 meters.

The mountain features a prominence of 465 meters from its key col at Fuorcla Sura da Lavaz, which sits at an elevation of 2,703 meters.
