Portjengrat, Mountain summit in Pennine Alps, Switzerland and Italy

Portjengrat rises to an elevation of 3,654 meters between the valleys of Saas, Divedro, and Antrona, featuring glaciers on its eastern, western, and southern faces.

Franz and Alexander Burgener guided Clinton Thomas Dent during the first recorded ascent of the mountain summit on September 7, 1871.

The mountain demonstrates the multicultural nature of the Alpine region through its various names: Portjengrat in German-speaking areas and Pizzo d'Andolla in Italian regions.

Access to the mountain requires proper climbing equipment and weather monitoring, with the main climbing season extending from late spring through early autumn.

The mountain serves as a geographical marker where three distinct valleys converge, creating a natural border point between Switzerland and Italy.
