Pizzo Tambò, Alpine summit in Lepontine Alps, Switzerland
Pizzo Tambò rises to 3,279 meters above sea level, marking the eastern border of the Lepontine Alps with three distinct glaciers on its flanks.
Johann Jakob Sulzberger completed the first documented climb of Pizzo Tambò in 1828, establishing the initial route to the mountain's summit.
The mountain stands at the intersection of German and Italian language regions, reflecting Switzerland's multilingual alpine heritage through its various names.
Climbers access the summit through multiple routes from Montespluga or Splügen Pass, with the eastern ridge offering the standard approach for mountaineers.
The mountain features three separate glaciers: Tambogletscher, Ghiacciaio del Tambo, and Vedretta della Spianata, each displaying different characteristics and orientations.
