Piz Arblatsch, Alpine summit in Grisons, Switzerland
Piz Arblatsch is an alpine peak in the Oberhalbstein Alps that rises to 3203 meters. Its south-facing slopes feature steep rocky terrain marked by three distinct gullies that form natural channels down the mountainside.
The mountain formed through tectonic processes during the Alpine orogeny millions of years ago. This geological history shaped its current form and the composition of its rocky slopes.
Local mountaineering traditions have established specific routes up Piz Arblatsch, with guides passing knowledge through generations about the central couloir approach.
The mountain is accessible by public transport from Chur with a train to Thusis, then a post bus to the village of Mulegns. From there, climbers and hikers have access to multiple routes depending on their ability and the season.
The mountain remains accessible throughout the year because its slopes lack permanent glacial ice, unlike many neighboring peaks. This year-round accessibility makes it unusual in its region and offers climbers flexible routing options across different seasons.
