Piz Buin Pitschen, Alpine summit in Silvretta range, Switzerland and Austria

Piz Buin Pitschen rises to 3,256 meters above sea level, forming a natural border between the Swiss canton of Graubünden and the Austrian state of Vorarlberg.

O.W. Stein and mountain guide Christian Jann completed the first documented ascent of Piz Buin Pitschen on August 24, 1868, establishing the initial climbing route.

The mountain's name combines Romansh language elements, with 'Piz' meaning peak and 'Buin' referring to oxen, reflecting the agricultural heritage of the region.

Climbers access the summit through the Wiesbadener Hut at 2,443 meters, crossing the Vermunt Glacier and following the western ridge to reach the top.

The northern face of Piz Buin Pitschen contains the Ochsenthaler Glacier, which forms the source of the River Ill flowing toward the Rhine basin.
