Piz Languard

Piz Languard, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland.

Piz Languard is a 3,262-metre summit of the Livigno Alps in the canton of Grisons, rising east of Pontresina above the Val Bernina. The municipal boundary between Pontresina and La Punt Chamues-ch runs over the peak, and a survey pyramid of the 1903 national triangulation stands on the summit. The Georgys Hütte, the highest mountain hut in Grisons at 3,175 m, sits 87 metres below the top on the south ridge.

A signal was erected on the summit in 1847. In 1884 the centre bolt still present today was set as the main point of the primary survey network of south-eastern Switzerland, with a pyramid centred above it. A servitude contract between the Federal Topographic Bureau and the municipality of Pontresina followed in 1895, and the LV03 national survey was introduced in 1903. The point was revised and re-measured in 1915.

The mountain hut below the summit, Chamanna Georgy at 3,175 m, is the highest hut in the canton of Graubünden and is named after the Leipzig painter Wilhelm Georgy (1819–1887). He stayed there often to study animals and weather, and his large oil painting of the Bernina group with chamois was made from studies around the hut. The summit also carries a survey pyramid over an iron centre bolt set in 1884.

A chairlift runs from Pontresina to Alp Languard at 2,325 m, leaving about 936 m of ascent to the summit. From there the route climbs through Val Languard to Georgys Hut at 3,175 m, 87 m below the top. Many hikers start before dawn with headlamps to reach the summit at sunrise, or watch the sunset and descend in twilight.

The view from the summit reaches up to 257 kilometres, as far as a point near the Croce Rossa (3546 m) on the border between the Italian region of Piedmont and the French region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The summit carries a survey pyramid set centrally over an iron bolt, part of the national triangulation network.
