Piz Kesch, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland.
Piz Kesch rises to 3,417.7 meters in the Albula Alps, featuring three summits connected by a narrow ridge and a glacier on its northern face.
The first ascent of Piz Kesch occurred in 1846 when J. Coaz, J. Rascher, C. Casper, and J. Tscharner reached the western summit at 3,418 meters.
The mountain carries two names: Piz Kesch in German and Piz d'Es-cha in Rumantsch, reflecting the linguistic diversity of the Grisons region.
Two mountain huts serve climbers: Chamanna d'Es-cha at 2,594 meters and Kesch-Hütte at 2,625 meters, both offering overnight accommodations and emergency shelters.
The mountain marks the division between the Rhine drainage basin flowing to the North Sea and the Danube basin flowing to the Black Sea.
