Piz Blas

Piz Blas rises to 3,019 meters within the Saint-Gotthard Massif, marking the border between the cantons of Graubünden and Ticino in Switzerland.

The mountain has served as a geographical boundary between the valleys of Leventina and Blenio, influencing regional development and territorial divisions through centuries.

The surrounding region maintains traditional Alpine cheese production methods, with local dairy farms operating in the valleys beneath Piz Blas.

Climbers access the summit through marked paths from Ritom Lake Dam, following a route past Lake Tom and the lakes of Taneda to reach the peak.

The mountain contains deposits of rare minerals including Monazite-Ce, Synchysite-Y, and Fluorapatite, making it significant for geological research.
