Piz Sesvenna, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland

Piz Sesvenna is a 3,204-metre summit in the Sesvenna Range, the highest of the group. Its main peak lies entirely on Swiss soil in the municipality of Scuol, about 180 metres northwest of the Italian border. The Vadret da Sesvenna glacier sits on the northern side of the east ridge, and the mountain is framed by the Val Sesvenna, Val S-charl, Avignatal and Schliniger Tal.

The name Sesvenna may derive from a Celtic root *sisk ("dry"), fitting the limestone terrain of the Engadin with little surface water, or from Romansh *sassvaina ("ore vein"), pointing to mining in the Val S-charl. The summit lies entirely on Swiss soil in the municipality of Scuol, about 180 metres northwest of the Italian border. The Sesvennahütte at 2258 m and the village of S-charl at 1808 m serve as starting points for the eastern ridge routes.

The name Sesvenna may derive from a Celtic root *sisk, meaning dry, fitting the limestone terrain of the Engadin with little surface water; alternatively it could come from the Romansh *sassvaina, meaning ore vein, referring to mining in Val S-charl. The typical Celtic suffix -enna denotes a locality.

The peak is accessible via two main routes: from Schlinig on the Italian side or from S-charl village on the Swiss side, each with different difficulty levels. Summer months offer the best climbing conditions when snow has melted and trails are passable.

The northern face hosts Vadret da Sesvenna, one of the last glaciers remaining in this section of the Rhaetian Alps. This ice field offers a rare sight in an area otherwise defined by rock formations.
