Grenzeckkopf, Mountain summit in Galtür, Austria

Grenzeckkopf rises to an elevation of 3,047 meters at the border between Tyrol, Austria, and Grisons, Switzerland, within the Silvretta mountain range.

The first recorded ascent of Grenzeckkopf took place in 1849 by Johann Wilhelm Coaz and Ron Ragut Tscharner during topographical surveys for the Dufour map.

The mountain carries two names: Grenzeckkopf in German-speaking Tyrol and Piz Faschalba in the Romansh-speaking Swiss region, reflecting the linguistic border.

The ascent from Galtür involves a total distance of 26.2 kilometers with an elevation gain of 1,302 meters through various mountain terrains.

A small mountain lake, Lai da Faschalba, lies southeast of the peak, feeding the Aua d'Urschai stream that flows into the Inn River.
