Piz Lagalb, Alpine summit in Grisons, Switzerland

Piz Lagalb is a 2,959 m summit of the Livigno Alps in the Val Bernina above Pontresina, canton of Graubünden, overlooking the Bernina Pass. It is flanked by the Val Minor and Val Bernina. A cable car from the Bernina-Lagalb stop of the Bernina railway reaches a station at 2,893 m, where a restaurant with a viewing terrace stands.

The cable car system was installed in 1963, transforming the mountain from a remote peak into an accessible destination for winter sports. This infrastructure enabled the development of the area as a popular skiing destination.

The mountain's name comes from the Romansh "lagalb", meaning "the white", a reference to its pale rock faces. The cable car from Bernina-Lagalb, opened in 1963, is the mountain's link to the valley; the Bernina railway stop of the same name sits right beside its base station at 2,107 m. Outside the ski season both the cable car and the restaurant at the top station (2,893 m) are closed.

The valley station of the Lagalb cable car stands at 2,107 m beside the Bernina-Lagalb stop of the Bernina railway line from St. Moritz to Tirano. The top station at 2,893 m has a restaurant with a viewing terrace. Both the cable car and the restaurant close outside the ski season.

The mountain's cable car, opened in 1963, was meant to close after the winter of 2015/16 under the operator's Strategy 2030. The group Pro Lagalb raised around 5 million francs to keep it running, and the lift was bought by the Piz Nair AG, renamed Diavolezza Lagalb AG in June 2017.
