Piz Fess

Piz Fess rises to 2,874 meters within the Signina range, positioned between Val Lumnezia and Safiental valleys in the eastern Swiss Alps.

The mountain remained unconquered until August 10, 1895, when Karl Viescher, Wieland Wieland, and J. Christoffel completed the first documented ascent.

The mountain name reflects the Romansh language heritage of the Grisons region, where local communities maintain strong connections to alpine traditions.

Mountaineers access the summit through multiple routes starting from Tenna, with the main trail extending 12.82 kilometers and requiring 6.5 hours to complete.

The mountain features two distinct summits: Guter Fess at 2,874 meters and Böser Fess at 2,880 meters, separated by a sharp rocky ridge.
