Piz Sarsura

Piz Sarsura reaches an elevation of 3,178 meters and features two distinct summits, with the western peak standing slightly higher than its eastern counterpart.

The mountain's glaciers, Vadret da Grialetsch and Vadret da Sarsura, have shaped the landscape through centuries of geological processes in the Albula Alps region.

The name Piz Sarsura reflects the local Romansh language heritage of the Grisons canton, where mountain nomenclature preserves traditional Alpine linguistic elements.

Climbers access the summit via routes from the Grialetsch mountain hut, which serves as a base at 2,542 meters for both summer ascents and winter expeditions.

The mountain presents different technical requirements across seasons, transforming from a T5-grade hiking challenge in summer to a more technical WS+ winter ascent.
