Piz Forbesch, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland
Piz Forbesch is a peak in the Oberhalbstein Alps that rises to 3262 meters and features steep rocky slopes on all sides. The summit stands out prominently and can be seen from several valleys in the region.
The mountain's name comes from the Romansh language spoken in this region of Grisons. Alpine passages through these heights have served as important routes connecting communities for many centuries.
Local mountaineering traditions in the Grisons canton incorporate Piz Forbesch as a significant destination for skilled climbers seeking technical ascents.
The best time to climb is during the summer months when snow and ice are less of an obstacle. Most routes start from the village of Mulegns at lower elevation.
The peak rises roughly 600 meters above the surrounding mountains, creating a clear geographical separation between two valleys below. This height difference makes it a striking landmark in the Alpine landscape.
