Calanda, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland.

Calanda rises 2,806 meters above sea level, featuring four distinct peaks and offering views across the Swiss Alps near the city of Chur.

The mountain's mining history includes gold extraction activities at the Goldene Sonne Mine, which operated during previous centuries in the Calanda region.

Local mountaineers maintain a tradition of celebrating their ascent with Calanda Beer when reaching the summit, marking their achievement in Swiss Alpine style.

The Calandahütte, positioned at 2,073 meters elevation, provides overnight accommodations and serves as a base for various hiking expeditions in the area.

The mountain range creates a natural weather barrier that influences the climate of Chur, resulting in specific weather patterns beneficial to the regional capital.
