Piz Glüschaint, Alpine summit in Bernina Range, Switzerland and Italy

Piz Glüschaint is a 3,594-meter (11,791 feet) summit lying between Val Roseg in Graubünden and Val Malenco in Lombardy, with the Roseg Glacier dominating its northern face. The peak features rocky ridges and steep terrain that define its structure.

In 1883 Moritz von Küffner made the first ascent of Piz Glüschaint's north face, the earliest recorded climb on the mountain. The 3,593- or 3,594-metre summit on the Italian-Swiss border is now normally reached from the Coaz refuge at 2,610 metres.

The name Glüschaint comes from Romansh, the language spoken in the Val Roseg side of the mountain, while the Italian Val Malenco below uses its own toponyms. The normal route starts from the Coaz Hut at 2,610 m, a Swiss Alpine Club refuge that serves climbers on both sides of the border.

Climbing season runs from July through September when snow conditions are most stable across the rocky terrain. Visitors should expect steep sections requiring rope skills and glacier knowledge before attempting this summit.

The summit connects to the Fuorcla da la Sella pass at 3,253 meters, a natural gateway linking the Swiss and Italian sides of the range. This passage demonstrates how the mountain chain runs through both countries.
