Piz Albris

Piz Albris is a mountain summit in the Livigno Alps that rises to 3,166 meters and features steep rocky slopes. The surrounding landscape includes numerous alpine lakes that dot the high terrain.

The mountain formed millions of years ago through tectonic forces that lifted the Alps into being. These geological processes shaped the rugged terrain we see today in this region.

The name Piz comes from the Romansh language, reflecting how German, Italian, and Romansh speakers share this region of Graubünden. This linguistic mix shapes how local communities connect with the mountains.

The climb starts from Bernina Diavolezza station and follows marked trails through Val da Fain toward the Fuorcla Pischa pass. The pass sits at 2,837 meters and serves as a key waypoint on the route to the summit.

The area is known for numerous alpine lakes nestled in rock basins that collect meltwater from the peaks. These natural water features create a distinctive character in this high alpine landscape.
