Piz Morteratsch, Alpine summit in Bernina Range, Switzerland.
The Piz Morteratsch rises to 3,751 meters, featuring granite slopes bordered by the Morteratsch Glacier to the east and Tschierva Glacier to the southwest.
The initial ascent of Piz Morteratsch took place on September 11, 1858, when climbers C. Brügger and P. Gensler reached the summit with guides Karl Emmermann and Angelo Klaingutti.
The mountain stands as a central reference point for Swiss Alpine climbing traditions, with multiple established routes varying in technical difficulty across its faces.
Climbers access the mountain through the Boval hut at 2,495 meters, which operates from March to May and June to October, providing essential shelter and resources.
The north ridge normal route combines rock climbing on granite steps with an ice climb, requiring technical skills across different terrain types.
