Piz Varuna, Alpine summit in Bernina Range, Switzerland and Italy
Piz Varuna rises to an elevation of 3,453 meters above sea level, marking the border between Switzerland's Grisons canton and Italy's Lombardy region.
The mountain's measurement data was collected through advanced Lidar technology during the SwissAlti3D project conducted throughout 2019, establishing precise geographical parameters.
The name Piz Varuna appears consistently across multiple European languages, reflecting the mountain's recognition in both Swiss and Italian alpine territories.
Mountaineers accessing Piz Varuna can observe three distinct drainage basins flowing toward the Adriatic Sea, Mediterranean Sea, and Atlantic Ocean from its summit.
The mountain maintains a topographic isolation of 2.6 kilometers from its parent peak, Piz Bernina, with the Passo di Gembré serving as its key col.
