Piz Lagalb, Alpine summit in Grisons, Switzerland
Piz Lagalb rises to an elevation of 2,959 meters, featuring steep slopes on its northern face and panoramic views across multiple mountain ranges.
The installation of the cable car system in 1963 transformed Piz Lagalb from a remote peak into an accessible destination for winter sports enthusiasts.
The Club 8848 maintains a local tradition requiring members to complete eleven Lagalb runs and four mountain station footpath journeys for membership.
Visitors can reach the summit through multiple hiking trails from Bernina Pass or use the cable car, with the round trip taking approximately 4.5 hours by foot.
The mountain contains what is documented as the steepest groomed slope in Graubünden canton, with an impressive gradient of 86 degrees.
