Piz Val Gronda, Mountain peak in Samnaun Group, Switzerland and Austria

Piz Val Gronda is a 2812-meter summit in the Samnaun Group on the border between Austria and Switzerland. The border runs over the peak between the municipality of Ischgl in Tyrol and Scuol in Graubünden. The Fuorcla Val Gronda (2750 m) lies just to the east, where Ischgl, Scuol and Valsot meet.

The mountain has been reached through hiking paths from both sides of the border for many years. Access was significantly improved by a modern cable car system that opened in December 2013.

The Heidelberger Hütte, the main base for ascents, sits on Swiss soil in the Fimbatal. The hut is run by the Heidelberg section of the German Alpine Club, which joined the Silvretta Allianz to oppose the cable car project. The Fuorcla Val Gronda nearby marks the meeting point of Ischgl, Scuol and Valsot.

From the Heidelberger Hütte on Swiss soil the summit is reached in about two hours: a marked path leads to the Furcla Fenga Pitschna saddle, then the last stretch is pathless from the southwest. Alternatively, follow the marked path to the Fuorcla da Val Gronda (2752 m) just southeast of the summit and climb the southeast ridge without a trail. The saddle is about an hour from the Zeblasjoch (2539 m).

The peak's name comes from the Romansh "Val Gronda", meaning large valley, referring to the Fimbatal below it. A 2452-metre cable car with two cabins of 150 people each, built on only two pylons, opened on 20 December 2013. The summit is also called Piz da Val Gronda.
