Piz Quattervals, Alpine summit in Grisons, Switzerland
Piz Quattervals is an alpine summit in the Livigno Alps situated between several valleys at a height of 3,165 meters. The peak forms a distinctive point in a mountain landscape with steep slopes and alpine meadows.
The mountain gained special importance when Switzerland created and protected the national park area in the early 20th century. Since then, the region has remained a place of strict conservation.
The mountain sits within a protected area where visitors stay on marked trails to preserve the landscape. The scenery reflects a carefully maintained alpine environment that has remained largely unchanged for generations.
The ascent takes many hours and requires good physical fitness and mountain climbing experience. Visitors should start early, bring weather-resistant gear, and be prepared for conditions that can change quickly.
The summit is the only peak completely contained within park boundaries rather than spanning across multiple regions or borders. This makes it a place where alpine wildlife and plant life exist without external disturbances.
