Piz Scalottas

Piz Scalottas, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland

Piz Scalottas rises to 2,323 meters in the Plessur Alps and offers views of Lenzerheide and the Domleschg valley. On clear days, the vista extends across multiple mountain chains of the Glarner and Appenzell Alps.

In the 1980s Piz Scalottas hosted the Swiss Ski Championships. From 1995 the FIS course was used regularly for women's World Cup downhill and super-G races, with a steep start and demanding routing. In 2001 the international ski federation judged the course no longer fit for modern World Cup racing, which led to the building of the Silvano Beltrametti course from Rothorn to Parpan.

The name Scalottas is Romansh, and the summit lies on the boundary between the municipalities of Scharans and Vaz/Obervaz. The mountain is served by a two-stage chairlift from Lenzerheide/Val Sporz: the first section reaches Tgantieni at 1,750 m, where the Bergrestaurant Acla Grischuna and Hotel/Restaurant Tgantieni stand, and a second chairlift continues to the Berggasthaus Piz Scalottas in about 8 minutes.

Access to the summit is by a two-stage chairlift from Lenzerheide/Val Sporz, with a change at Tgantieni (1,750 m); the second section takes about 8 minutes. The lift operates seasonally, not year-round. In summer it carries mountain bikes to the top free of charge; in winter it serves skiers.

The summit's GSM transmitter is deliberately low-power, a small installation made possible by the site's exposed topography. Ski racing once defined the mountain: from 1995 the FIS course here hosted regular women's World Cup downhill and super-G races, and in 2001 the international ski federation judged the run too steep and demanding for modern World Cup standards, prompting the building of the Silvano Beltrametti course from Rothorn to Parpan.
