Ziteil, Roman Catholic pilgrimage church in Surses, Switzerland

Ziteil is a Roman Catholic pilgrimage church at 2,429 metres on the eastern slope of Piz Curvér above Salouf in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. The church, rebuilt in 1959 and raised in 1977, stands next to a pilgrim house built in 1848 and enlarged in 1914 and 1949, which sleeps 150 pilgrims.

The site became a pilgrimage destination in 1580 after a reported appearance of the Virgin Mary was documented in local records. The current structure was built in 1959 to accommodate the growing number of visitors to this high alpine location.

The building serves as a gathering point where people come together for services and celebrations, especially during summer months when mountain passes are snow-free. This practice connects communities across the region and sustains a long-standing mountain tradition.

Access is via marked hiking trails from Salouf, requiring proper mountain gear and weather preparation for the high-altitude route. Summer offers the easiest hiking conditions, though weather can change quickly and warm layers remain essential year-round.

Ziteil is the highest pilgrimage site in the Eastern Alps, not all of Europe: higher sanctuaries exist in the Western Alps, such as Mont Thabor and Rocciamelone. From the church at 2,429 m, the view reaches the Oberhalbstein and Albula Alps and as far as Piz Bernina (4,049 m).
